yes, I can understand that.

Sorry, I can't get .29 running under xen-3.0.2. The whole thing
compiles, but doesn't boot properly.
I didn't have the time to fiddle about getting it booted, just had time
to check the basics, but it was no use, so I had to skip the test, sorry.

Good idea, as "release! release! release!" is one of the principles of
Open Source. So release it! :)

Sorry, can't be no good help today.

ciao - Michael

P.S.: I changed the subject :)

xen-3.0.3-0 is released now, it comes with kernel 2.6.16.29 and runs
flawlessly so far.
I was modprob'ing and rmmod'ing pc87427 every 2 secs for some hours now,
plus I was running bonnie++ in the background.

Between these 2 secs I was able to do a clean sensors run.

No messages, no crashes, just perfect. You never know, but so far, even
my irq messages about "nobody cared" are gone.

Greetings - Michael

Good news! :) Thanks for letting me now.

The pc87427 driver is in -mm now.
