Speaking of ide bugs support
I was running stock redhat 6.2 kernel on it (2.2.14) which must have had a
slightly broken ide driver, upon resume sometimes it would just report
hda: lost interrupt (that's if you were at the console in X it just
totally froze) mainly because the hard disk wasn't there anymore
2.2.15 seems to be working perfectly so far in this regard.
And after that piece of advice below I don't think I will be running a
devel kernel on there for a while.
