I would think (and hope) the PPC kernel developers are too busy fixing this right now to answer your question. And many people, even on intel hardware, are seeing file system corruption with 2.3.x kernels. Plus, the new USB code probably doesn't work yet. So for non-kernel-developers this means to be patient for a while. ramp@oddjob.uchicago.edu wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I hope I'm not the only one having problems getting a working > 2.3.41 kernel.

I'm now back to my 2.2.14 and things seem OK. -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
