OK--that makes sense...I'm running the newest kernel--3.3 trunk. I'll try a older kernel first, as it's the easiest in the list. I think I'll do a line-by-line between 22.1 & 24 to really get a feel for the differences--everytime I revert to 22.1 the problem goes away...
Quick question: are there any mounts that changes between 22.1 & 24? My system has been running for over a year now & I "normally" take the existing config instead of the developer version. That leads me to the thought that by the time it gets to Testing there may be more reports--people that default to "N" during updates & have long-standing installs.... -- Cheers!!!
