I had to apply the framebuffer patch so that my kernel would not crash for that reason (this was applied to the original mm3 aswell - forgot to metnion). Also the percentile tmpfs was applied. Normal kernel works fine with both patches. Still, the linus.patch produced the same result. If you think it's worthwhile I'll compile out the fa and perc patchesb but I didn't think it significant due to them workign just fine with 2.5.66. -- Martin's distress was in contrast to the bitter satisfaction of some of his fellow marines as they surveyed the scene.
