Patch applies fine to vanilla 2.6.29, after removing a little from the non code part of your email ... :) .. And after some ugly debate with mutt here because it first changed the code when saving the patch: I had to save the message as an attachment, and not from the usual read view on that message, IINM ... worked in the end tho ... :) I don't have the sources anymore for my current kernel, so I will try build a kernel from that stable 2.6.29 lying around ... Feedback on whether the patch helps can take many weeks - because the described bug usually shows up only every 2 months or so ... Anyways - thanks a lot your help Nice weekend Best Regards Wolfgang -- heelsbroke.blogspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
