I finally recompiled the kernel, cause i had a power failure... the latest thing is in place and so far i haven't had any weird hangs or=20 crashes (yet),... right now, it's time to play alot of things and see what= =20 happens... I'm not really interested in a hardware equalizer, just like that, it's got= =20 nothing to do with the hang problems (which are NOT kernel oopses, btw) (or= =20 not anymore, at least) we'll see if we get that adb failure again, i've let it print=20 in /var/log/messages, so, we'll see if its solved or not... do you want me to test out the hardware equalizer? i'm not using 4.0 btw... > Alien wrote: > >>i'm busy with home improving but when i have time i will try the patch > >>again on 2.6.12 kernel.
