You will be happy to hear of two improvements with the new kernel:
1) It works!
a) drivers that had stopped working for disk controllers now compile
and can load
b) it properly 'mkinitrd' to incorporate user supplied module into
boot image
c) it did not corrupt the MBR when installed as an update like .31
did for me
d) the HDA sound support works - I can change volume without loss of
sound
2) It leaves a copy of the previous kernel in place.
a) it properly modifies GRUB adding itself and leaving prior boot
kernel pointer
b) it was compatible with a MD raid installation
Finally, I can stop looking for an apparantly non-existant copy of
version -25 which was the last version that worked with my scsi hardware
raid controller. The sound still works and all issues I had previously
with the kernel are gone.
