this is affecting qemu as well. I do OS development and am halted due to this. OSX is also affected by this.

will try to update my cross linker tools for OSX, but if I cant emu test stuff that triple faults without taking down the OS(host) I CANNOT solve the problem within mine so it doesn't triple fault.

Drivers seems to be affected by this as well. My usb audio (ps2 headset) got knocked off and wouldnt come back due to 'forced' updates for the kernel. True users have an option of not upgrading, but who wants to leave a security hole wide open?

I agree on the debian is more stable, but for some reason, I keep getting enviroments like 486-linux instead of 686-linux and cant build anything from scratch.(and I have the dev tools installed properly). I have limited bandiwdth (5GB) I cant DL the debian repos every time i need a stable OS.

Im using both a mini(ubuntu 8.10) and a PC(OSX). The Core CPU in my mini HAS the intel vm mode ability, the Dual core PC does not.
