Kurt,
Thanks for the information. Three questions:
* Do you recommend any particular kernel in the unstable, or should I
just try an older version and hope for the best?
* I assume I should pare down the list of servers. FYI four of these are
from the default distribution Debian pool, so there's a problem upstream.
* Should I send a bug report to the kernel, and if so, where?
Well, three questions. Thanks for the help.
(And I also want you to know that my .sig changes randomly every 5
minutes... just lucky, I guess.)
