- Does 3.5 work? (could be that whatever broke things for you was introduced in 3.5.1). - Does the latest 3.4.8 work? - Does 3.6-rc1 (or even the latest snapshot of Linus' tree, post-rc1) work? - If noone comes up with a good idea as to the cause of your troubles, you could try bisecting between your last working kernel and 3.5.1 to try and narrow it down to one (or a few) commits that are causing your trouble. -- Jesper Juhl <j...@chaosbits.net> http://www.chaosbits.net/ Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
