As the -stable patch review cycle is now over, I've released the 2.6.11.5 kernel in the normal kernel.org places. One patch was deemed incorrect, so it was dropped. Another one was added, within the review email thread. So it seems like the process is working so far, which is refreshing :) The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below. I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between 2.6.11.4 and 2.6.11.5, as it is small enough to do so. thanks, greg k-h ------ Makefile | 2 +- drivers/net/amd8111e.c | 2 ++ drivers/net/tun.c | 2 +- drivers/net/via-rhine.c | 4 +++- drivers/net/wan/hd6457x.c | 2 +- kernel/signal.c | 1 + net/ipv4/fib_hash.c | 12 +++++++++++- net/netrom/nr_in.c | 9 --------- net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c | 2 +- sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c | 13 ++++++++----- 10 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) Summary of changes from v2.6.11.4 to v2.6.11.5 ============================================== : o Possible AMD8111e free irq issue o Possible VIA-Rhine free irq issue Daniel Drake: o Fix stereo mutes on Surround volume control David S.

I have this and have been try
I have this and have been trying desperately to get it to work and many others using Slackware 10.1 have also. I found out by perusing this area that the 4K buffer to limit the framebuffer is why some of us using nVidia Cards have had crash issues. I am going to redo this whole kernal now and see just what I can do since reading this. I pointed many of the linuxquestions.org people inthe slack forums to come rad up here too. I am so glad I did another Google search and found this, maybe, just maybe now I can actually get this 2.6.11.5 Kernel to work now.
