I installed 2.6.0-test1 one today on ath 700 over ssh and rebooted the
machine, it came up fine and i just ssh'd in to check it. Granted I am not
running anything on it yet. I also did to my ath 1800 and rebooted, but it
didnt come back up. So its not "old" hardware causing it. I also have
rage128 pro vid on the 700. Will try beta on my ibm 600E later and maybe I
can have sound again wiht 2.6 kernel.
I took a clue from Bill Nottingham who was responding to a message regading
kernel oopses with AMD's and the Taroon beta. Looks like the same case for
AMD and Severn...
