Hi,

I am seeing frequent lockups on my Lion box running 2.4.17.  I have
firmware 76 installed.  Does anyone have this kernel running reliably on
a lion box?  If so, what firmware version are you using.  I was running
2.4.9 previously, and that seemed to be pretty stable.

I suspect you need fw 99 or newer.  Trouble is: I don't think Intel
has released those newer versions on Quad yet.

And from what I understand, Intel does not plan to release on QuAD,
any fw greater than 83B. FW revisions > 83B are not supported on
Intel Lions, only OEM platforms. If you install an unsupported FW
revision on a Lion, and you experience H/W problems, Intel will not
support you. Speaking from personal experience here.
