I agree. This is a fantastic kernel - so good infact, it'll probably be
awhile before I try out a new one unless some other issue(s) comes up.=20
I had a nagging problem with XF864 dying with Sig'11 on SMP and this has
completely cleared it up. =20

There's probably several issues with this kernel, but as the saying goes
'It works for me.'. Excellent work.
