I just patched my tree and compiled it. It does not work.. It freezes the system when I try to start X.. I gives a huge error message and the last line is something like : <6>note: X[1306] exited with preempt_count 1
I checked all the logs and I cannot find the complete error message anywhere. Any suggestions where to look?
I also had to set root=0307 instead of /dev/hda7 to make it boot. But I guess that is unrelated to this issue..
