Given that: 1. Evolution works fine on kernel 2.2 2. Evolution works fine on kernel 2.4 3. Evolution does not work fine on kernel 2.5...
Seems pretty obvious to me where the problem is - kernel 2.5, it is the only thing that has changed in the equation. well, unless kernels 2.2 and 2.4 were broken in such a way that made Evolution work :-) But assuming that was the case, then it could be argued that kernel 2.5 *is* broken for changing behavior. Anyways, kernel 2.5 is a development kernel, so you are supposed to expect things to not work. We should not have to make sure that Evolution works on development kernels. You are of course free to debug this, I would probably start with debugging ORBit since if it really is not a kernel bug, then the bug is mostly likely in ORBit.
