Agreed. Early 2.6test kernels had serious keyboard issues on my laptop, and the effort of switching backwards and forwards between LVM1 and 2 has put me off trying again on that box. If I could run 2.4 with LVM2 easily without having to worry about yet another manual kernel patch I'd be a lot more inclined to do testing. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --=.2FcsKKZIGcN8ld Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/1lJx96zL6DUtXhERAsr3AKDKy8LvTsQuQWEwKCbpRKyvndoKAgCfcYZj FWB6JlDq7TgZ15aWfW7a6FI= =KUG6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.2FcsKKZIGcN8ld--
