Cool. right now, i'd rather not update the kernel too drastically (i keep hoping 3.2.0 will happen soon). a standalone tg3 patch is definitely reasonable, but anything that breaks xfs makes me nervous. however, an alternate boot flavor is definitely a reasonable thing to do, especially for 3.0.1. if you want to build one, i'd be glad to host it. if its unclear how to do so, i can walk you through it. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Sisuite-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-devel
