I know this kernel has hundreds of patches added to it that are not in the main tree. Although I understand the need to support lots of hardware (I know I've got some difficult stuff) I'm sure it is very wrong to do it like this (lots of patches on top of pre releases of the next kernel). A solution would be to get an "Alan Cox" to work for/with mandrake as a lieutenant for Linux Torvalds or Marcelo or both. That way people will trust these kernels and they will be tested very thoroughly. As it is now, whenever there's a kernel bug, you couldn't possibly have the manpower/knowledge to find the source of it in the big pile of patches you have included. Getting an "Alan" and having him as a trusted part of the kernel community will probably take years, unless you get Alan himself ;-), but it'll be worth it!
