SubjectRe: 2.1.44
I'd have to say, without any unusla settings than normal, I booted 2.1.44
without a single lockup, crash, or OOPS. Didn't even notice the fs
corruption for a little while till I rmed some files and checked my disk
space. Nothing special setup, copied a .config from 2.1.44-3... Even
included modules for all the filesystems.. Not a single error. 2.1.43
clean untar, patched with patch-2.1.44.gz. I forgot to install the
modules, so I never tried testing them, and I only booted 2.1.44 once.
