Hello all,
I have a question. Does anybody care at all? If not, what's the purpose of installing alpha in the first place?
I report a very important problem that might be jeopardizing the release of jaunty itself.... and still talking to myself

It is not a problem of impossibility to use eye-candy compiz features or some other laughable issues. It is the system crash all of a sudden! Kernel is dead. This what makes M$ Windows Windows....

When I converted to Linux/Unix, I hardly can recall of any crashes (Fedora Core 4). Nowadays it is pretty occasional. I understand that it mostly concerns video and other hardware drivers, mostly proprietary or back-engineered ones.

So could I get some sort of feedback at least? How do I debug the kernel? How do I debug some of its suspicious modules at least? Hope to hear from anyone...

Thanks in advance
