Subject2.1.123 works for me Re: "Official" kernel source
I am using the ftp.kernel.org 2.1.123 source on intel, I had to delete a
redefinition of `con_copy_unimap' from drivers/char/consolemap.c but
otherwise, there were no problems (but I don't use frame buffer). My
sound (Cyrstal 4232) loads, plays and unloads no problem. I can mount my
IDE CDROM. I also have four SCSI cards and 9 disk stripe (raid0 mounted
as /) on this box, all working fine (one pass of Bonnie worked). I see no
good evidence yet that 2.1.123 is significantly different in performance
from 2.1.120. In the kernels from 2.1.121 to 2.1.123-2, I could not boot
SMP so actually for me this kernel is a huge performance improvement.

2.1.123 with the above noted fix worked for this plebian.
