- Was soll ich noch sagen: Auch dieser Kernel funktioniert erwartungsgemäß problemlos. Das "make oldconfig" brachte wenige, neue Optionen zu Tage. Interessant klingt allenfalls das neue Kernel-Modul für den I2C-Bus des Nvidia nforce2, nur habe ich den leider noch nicht zum funktionieren überreden können (Das braucht man vor allem, um dauern so wichtige Informationen wie CPU- und Gehäusetemperatur auf dem Schirm zu haben).
