The general problem I'm observing is nobody wants to be the first through the minefield of building a commercial product based on a 64-bit kernel though for many applications it seems to be a much saner solution than a 32-bit kernel. My use is atypical but I'm running a 64-bit kernel SMP / ccNUMA kernel since years without major problems so we're 90% through and I'd like to know about the missing 10% ... Ralf
