Comment 53 for bug 276949

Hello Ike,

Sure, I will comply, although I don't agree with the logic. You would think
that hardware compatibility would be at the top of the list. As for the
kernel that I am using, I went back to using i386 under Windows, so I'm not
using the kernel you sent.

Thanks again for all of your work on this.
