Hi Oleg,

Sorry but The STABLE causes another problem with my SCSI driver (MPT - LSI LOGIC). Before compilation I made cvsup to sync the stable and get the if_bge.c requested version (a lazy work :() Then applied patch make compile and install finally reboot. And it is not working. I could not find even kernel.old :( Standart method shoul put the kernel.old but there is no one. I have some other works to do but will find to boot somehow.


I will try to let you know as soon as I solved the problem. By the way, do you know how to get cvsup to specified times stable (e.g. 25.01.2006).


Thanks.
