Anyway. I tried this kernel last night and kept the machine running until this morning. No crash, no oops. Better than ac2 :)

Just a quick me-too on 2.4.21-pre3-ac3, it's better than -ac2, which seems to have randomly locked up at times and then I ended up losing a bunch of binaries in /usr/bin/... for some reason. Plus some /dev entries as well.

It's amazing what breaks in X when random parts like /dev/tty7 and stuff in /usr/bin are gone, and it's *very* un-enlightening what the problem is.
