:-) That's funny: you run custom UP kernels, and yet managed to break UP
builds with the breakage being unknown to you until you received reports
from other users, lol.

On a related note, did you measure how much (e.g. in terms of battery
life) your laptop gains from using the UP kernel?  Could you also share
your config?  I'm using Pentium-M laptop as my primary machine as well,
and always eager to squeeze something more out of it.  Thanks,
