the installation kernel didn't find my 3C509B and recompiling didn't fix
the problem. backing off to my old 2.0.1 kernel did. guess I'll have to
start building kernel versions incrementally and see when it breaks...
it's worth asking if 2.0.18 is really as stable as the old 1.2.13 kernel.
according to the archives at sunsite, the 2.0.18 patch file is dated
Thu Sep 5 and the latest version is 2.0.23. Is it really possible to
call something stable that is less than two months old and has already
changed five more times in that period?
how long was the 1.2.13 kernel in use before 3.0.3 was released?
