Is there a patch, I require? More paradox: the kernel among the sources on the CD is 2.6.12-r6, exactly the same as the one I had before on the Maxtor IDE, upgraded using emerge about a month and a half ago! > > > -- > Neil Bothwick > > DATA COMPRESSION: What You Get When You Squish An > Android > __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
