Writing the email took a few seconds. Getting the info for a proper bug report takes a long time, especially considering that one omission will get this response from you (and most other team members). Debugging kernel's is NOT what I do with my time - just something I *thought* would be appreciated, since my mainboard/chipset is relatively new and not many people have it. Since only perfect reports are welcome, I'll refrain from submitting any in the future. -- Murray J.
