I don't plan to fix it, no time. 2.6 boots UP and seems to work as well as SuperSPARC given the limited testing I've done so far. It may be possible later to backport whatever changes are made in 2.6, but frankly I don't recommend to use 2.4. If you want to help development, use 2.6. If you need first rate stability, use 2.2. -- Keith M Wesolowski http://foobazco.org/~wesolows ------(( Project Foobazco Coordinator and Network Administrator ))------ "May Buddha bless all stubborn people!" -- Uliassutai Karakorum Blake
