Comment 133 for bug 286285

Looks like the -9 security update fixed a number of concerning-looking issues. Is that why our fix wasn't in it?

I tried reapplying the patch from comment 52 into the (-9 directories instead of -7) and wound up with a system with no wireless devices. (Fortunately that process left me with .ko~ backup files I could restore. Nice!)

Okay, (whew!)

1. so what do I do now to prevent kernel panics from burning up the computer or filling the disk?
2. when can I expect to trust system updates again?

Thanks,

Robb
