Several wierd things with my laptop since I upgraded from 2.6.9+hack, which works beautifully.
1) With 2.6.11+hack, compiled for the Pentium-M, the system freezes at or soon after I close the LCD screen. Out of curiosity, I tried the FN - [F4] combination, which I believe should try to flip the video output to the external monitor port (I have nothing plugged in there). This immediately made the machine starting counting memory, and it turns out it had completely erased the BIOS settings to defaults and set the date back to Jan 4 of this year!
2) With 2.6.10-1.770_FC2 I totally froze the system when I tried to 'ifup eth0'. eth0 is BCM5705M (b44 driver)
3) When it freezes, the machine gets really hot, and the fan does not increase in speed like it normally does. I am not sure if this means anything, but I thought I'd share it.
For now, I'm back at 2.6.9+hack, but I'm willing to try the newer kernels if someone has a suggestion or needs more debugging.
Install is: FC2, mostly up-to-date when I was having these problems, fully up-to-date now.
