Another thing that's tweaking me about 2.4.16-ben0 is that the clock gets set 1 month ahead on boot. In OF, the system time is correct. When I boot, the system time is Sun, 2 Dec 2002 02:00. Off by a month.
My apologies if these things are being discussed elsewhere, but I suddenly stopped getting any mail at all from vger.kernel.org. -jwb
