Ended up with a kernel that blew up on boot, but from reading, that's what others were getting on UP systems as well. It was not urgent for me to rebuild, just trying to get a working kernel with sound installed. It can wait a day or three as needed for a stable build, I've got a good kernel from Feb 08 to run on until then. FWIW, I agree with your "Fixes should fix something" ideal. I'm slowly getting to the point where I can understand some of the code, but I'm no kernel hacker yet. One of these days I'll start testing the waters with patch submissions, but not until I feel I understand the system a bit better. Thanks! Stephen L.
