Comment 6 for bug 269248

Leann,

I am a Linux sysadmin so I'm at the least well acquainted with actually compiling a kernel, it is Git that I'm completely unfamiliar with. I've always used source packages. I don't suspect it will be a problem, just will take a little time to get my feet wet. I'd also like to see the machine freeze while I'm using it. My girlfriend reported it having frozen with 2.6.27, but I haven't seen it myself to see the specifics (for example, I don't think the keyboard lights flash from this crash, but I'm not 100% sure). I have seen the repeated freezes with 2.6.24, though, and I feel like that one was much worse. Seemed you couldn't get more than a few minutes in with that one.

I'll let you know if I get stuck and where. Thanks for the quick response!
