There were no code changes between 2.6.18.dfsg.1-23etch1 and 2.6.18.dfsg.1-24 in the code you are using. The only patches that are applied to the -686 flavor were an hppa-specific change and to the cciss driver (just adding ID's). The remaining changes are only applied in the xen flavor. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
