Ok, got it built ok, but the reboot was hell, not of your doing though. Someone had told me I could put a '-V' in a file called /fsckoptions and I'd get a bit more verbosity out of e2fsck. I thought that might be a good thing and put an echo statement in my rc.local to regenerate that file. Yup, attack of dumbass. I'd used the esc sequence to put an EOL on it, but that translated to a file containing '-V\n' which wasn't legal, so after looping around thru the reboot and dropping you to a shell thingies, and finding that I couldn't remount it rw under any circumstances I grabbed the rescue cd and got rid of all that. So I'm just now rebooted to it. So far it feels pretty good. tvtime works, no audio glitches in the startup. This is a pcHDTV-3000 card, running in Never Twice Same Color mode as yet. xsane works normally I believe, doing a preview scan ok. kino works, but doesn't really want to time share with the much cpu hungrier tvtime, this results a very noticeable lag in the preview video coming in directly from the cameras imager via firewire, and sometimes an outright freeze of 2-3 seconds duration when kmail is makeing a mail fetch run. spcagui works once I'd reinstalled the spca50x stuff /. pops right up in mozilla-1.7.5, also in firefox Those seem to be the main things of interest right now, to me. Anything else I should specifically check on this UP machine? As I add content to this message, I am occasionally seeing lags between what I type and its showing up on the screen but its certainly better than 2.6.10 or 11 was by quite a ways. This is related to the kino lags in that I believe its kmail's net access that is causeing them. Overall, I don't have any instant squawks Andrew. Looks good, generally feels good. Itches might develop later though. I'm using the cfq scheduler, were there any changes of note there? -- Cheers Andrew & list, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
