But sometimes major changes can fix things and do things completely

Bad thing is, the kernel panics are at it again. I had a little bit
of
time to download a video or two but here we go again.
Back to the normal reboots I guess. :-(
Yeah but typically.. or maybe my experience is completely different than
most, but typically major releases center on new features and not fixing
bugs, and major releases tend to create a whole lot more new bugs than
fixes (which is why many people hold out for for<major_release>.1) :P
Anyway, here's something... did you actually report a bug? If a tree
falls in the forest...
I haven't filed a bug because at the moment we have not been able to
figure out exactly what is causing it. I know it is a kernel panic but
not what part. Seamonkey and Firefox works until I start to download
something then there is a kernel panic. While is causes a panic with
Seamonkey or Firrefox, emerge can download for hours with not one
problem. Is it a network card driver or something else? We don't
know. I just keep trying different things until I can find something
that works then hopefully can figure out what changed.
I'm thinking about going back to the oldest kernel I can. The oldest I
have tried is 2.6.38 but .32 is still in the tree.
There is a whole thread, or two, on this tho.
