    why does /. think it's so important to announce EVERY linux kernel version? this increases the noise-to-signal ratio. why not just use a slashbox for kernelnotes or similar if it's so important to you?

  3. This is all good, but... by da3dAlus · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I've had a problem with my Promise Ultra66 controller since kernel 2.4.6 and above. Apparently, my system hangs at boot whenever it gets to my Maxtor 60GB drives. So far, not a single kernel update has addressed the problem, and I'm a bit pissed. I've looked on Google, Google Groups, irc.linux.com #linuxhelp, and nobody has heard of the problem or has a solution. I really don't know who to report this error to, or what information is needed. Can anyone help? I've been a Linux user for about 5 years now, and this is the first problem that I've been clueless to solve in a very long time.
