>Instead it seems to have become the > Danny Tholen Let's Include Any Patches That Look Fun kernel. The patches are not what I think is fun. They: a) fix a bloody oops with snd-emu10k1, tested and verified, and will probably also in the final kernel for main (if we get an alsa update). b) supermount in main sucks more than the one i included. But main kernel should be QAed, this kernel not. I expect these patches to go in main after release. Furthermore, this patch solves some minor problem between supermount and preemption. c) various people have been saying that Thomas patch fixed the acpi problems they had. Possibly Juan will/has already included it in 14mdk for main. It just disables ACPI on a few more mobos. I will not include just random unrelated patches that will not go in main, I will just try to keep up with main.

I'm sure it will suck more than mine. Danny
