3.0 was going to be a whole new thing but it appears that is not. If, big
if there, it was a major change, I was hoping for a fix. Since it is not a
major change, I'm not so hopeful now.
Bugs are fixed all the time without major changes. If you enlist the
google's help, you can find out what they are. IIRC you're already on
2.6.39 so try searching for 2.6.39.1 then 2.6.39.2, 3.0.0 etc to see
if there's anything that sounds like it might fix your issue. Or just
try them all as they come out. You can see from the ebuild Changelog
which kernel patches match with which ebuild.
Does anyone remember the Seamonkey or Firefox upgrades or am I the only
one that does? I know fixes are done all the time. I was just *hoping*
that since this was a huge number change, like Seamonkey going from
Seamonkey 1 to Seamonkey 2, that there would be some major changes.
That is why I asked if oldconfig would work. I have seen a couple times
when oldconfig wouldn't work even in the 2.* series but if this was some
new and improved thing that has been worked on for a while, I wasn't
sure if starting from scratch was recommended or not. .I know now that
is is basically nothing new except 2.6.39 with more of the usual fixes.
Here is some funny after thoughts on this tho. I went to some other
sites that have videos, other than Youtube. It is working so far. I
have downloaded a few videos and not one crash yet. Why am I not using
youtube you wonder, it is text only. Everything works on all the other
sites except youtube. I cleared all the cookies for youtube stuff but
still no worky. I have this snipped list of things installed:
root@fireball / # equery list *plugin* seamonkey *flash*

Am I missing something? It works in Konqueror tho. I haven't got up
the nerve yet to open Firefox and see if it works or still causes a crash.
Weird stuff going on here.
