Still, this gives a limitation of 3 permanent kernels (with a 4th slot temporarily for an upgrade). Given that there are more bugs related to new kernels (screen blanking issues, broken bluetooth), this makes things difficult. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
