Oh, I thought I was the only one. I also had a single hang+flashing Caps & Scroll Lock with -rc5, but haven't had one since. I had VMWare Player modules loaded at the time though, and I recently rebuilt them with the any-any-patch-113 (earlier versions would not build with very recent kernels). -rc4-git2 and -git3 never hung even with VMWare modules loaded. So I disabled the autoload of VMWare stuff. The problem has not reproduced so far. My system is a Dell D610, running updated Fedora 7, with Intel 915GM video chipset. --alessandro "I can't believe you if I can't hear you" (Editors, 'Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors') - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
