After moving from gentoo-sources-2.6.39-r3 to 3.1.6 (yes, I had put off
upgrading the whole system for something like 6 mos.), I found
hibernation wouldn't work on my laptop. Instead of troubleshooting, I
tried the unstable gentoo-sources-3.2.1, and AFAICT everything is
working fine, including hibernation.
I've never used any unstable build for the kernel, and once a>=3.2.1
kernel goes stable, I'll stick with stable again. But in the meantime,
is there anything I should watch out for or keep in mind?
I have used unstable kernels lots of times. If everything works, then
it works. If you upgrade and something isn't working or is fishy, then
go back to the stable one. This is why I keep a known working kernel
and a newer version in /boot at all times. I always have two versions
and at times have as many as a dozen.
Oh, have entries in grub for both too.
That help any?
