I think this message highlights a problem that we are going to face more and more frequently as more people upgrade to 2.0
Ethen, documentation for the make problem and the ps -aux problem ALREADY exists. It's in the directory, usr/src/linux/Documentation. Obviously, you and many other didn't see/read the file named Changes, which explains all the problems people may have when they upgrade.
So, what can be done to make it clearer for people that they need to read this file? Ethen, what specifically would have made it clearer to you where this information was?
Should the file be named something else? Is "Changes" too obscure? Should it be in the top level directory?
Seriously, Ethan, what would have tipped you off to look at the file? Did you look in the Documentation directory?
Perhaps the file "Changes" should be renamed to "READTHISFIRST"?
Any ideas people?
