2.6.0-test4 was pretty solid for me. My main gripe was the weird key repeat problem I've mentioned before (where sometimes a key up event will get missed or delayed for no apparent reason, happens about twice an hour in normal laptop usage).
I upgraded to 2.6.0-test5, but USB didn't work (I bought a scanner), so I tried -mm2 and USB is back and happy.
But, twice in a row now I've made this happen:
1391 pts/1 S 0:00 /bin/bash 1419 pts/1 S 0:00 /bin/sh ./build.sh 1423 pts/1 S 0:00 /bin/bash /home/landley/pending/newfirmware/make-stat 1447 pts/1 D 0:04 tar xvjf /home/landley/pending/newfirmware/base/linux 1448 pts/1 S 0:37 bzip2 -d
All I have to do is run my script, it tries to extract the kernel tarball, and tar hangs in D state.
How do I debug this? (Is there some way to get the output of Ctrl-ScrLk to go to the log instead of just the console? My system isn't currently hung, it's just got a process that is. This process being hung prevents my partitions from being unmounted on shutdown, which is annoying.)
Other miscelanous bugs: cut and paste only works some of the time (it pastes blanks other times, dunno if this was -test5 or -mm2; it worked fine in -test4).
The key repeat problem is still there, although still highly intermittent.
The boot hung enabling swap space once. I don't know why. (Init was already running and everything...)
