Hi Al,
well, let me repeat this: the M6 issues are not related to 2.2.9. I run 5.3
with a self-compiled 2.2.9 kernel over here and don't experience any
troubles at all. There must be something odd about the initscripts. Hm, I am
no expert at the SysV init process but I will take look at them myself.
Anyway, bugs are not unusual for a major version release, especially not on
such a cutting edge release like 'Venus' (which is at least one release
ahead of all other distros).
If you prefer something more conservative, maybe you should give RedHat 6 a
try...
Regards
tom
