Now it's even funier... X really locked up. All the display was just shut down... even good old terminals were gone.
If I understand correcttly I need also to upgrade Xorg... will it work with the old "official" kernel? or are xorg+linux bundeled together? I just heard that EXT4 is stable in 2.6.30... but no distro still uses that kernel by default. As Xorg 1.6 should come "soon", all I can think of is "all distros are messed up right now, wait". No upgrade for me it seems. PS: Yes, your machine has 915G. Still having all those passwords which prevent you from working after you go doing #1? ;-) On Friday 29 May 2009 22:24:04 Oron Peled wrote: > On 29.05.2009 Diego Iastrubni wrote: > > I am using Mandriva 2008.1 (yes, the old one) and decided to upgrade my > > kernel.
