long string : kernel_downgrade

i’ve downgraded to 2.6.21-ck2 (yes, thats the Con Kolivas patchset) which means no more happy daily panicking. AND i’ve almost burned a cd with k3b!! halted at 68% and gave to the system hiccups. Real hiccups.. really. For every 2-3 seconds the system halted for some 5-6 seconds. Which made writing so much fun! i was able to write a short “HALP” to a friend of mine and he ofc, knew what to do: “kill him”. Well not his exact words but more of “killall -9 k3b” and “been there done that”. Great. thx

/me ponders if he should downgrade to 2.6.17. been ages with it and i could actually burn cds and dvds. when all free space is left is (df -h) 2.5 gb and having to fix the partition tables on the desktopBSD laptop real soon, burning cds and dvds is somewhat useful.

And my 820gb ordered hard drives (with the 2 gb of ram ) are still on hold :/

BTW: i’ve ressusciteded the laptop and proceeded with the kde4 builds. Failed but i hope to get it working this weekend. The laptop is to be returned to the Departement of Informatics of my uni. next week. I hope they don’t give it the electroshocks and let me have it for one more year. Sooo useful “to work” on those days when i don’t want to leave the premises of my bed. really. bed + laptop = work.

BTW BTW: this editor is teh sux with konqueror. I have to use firefox to write all my posts on wordpress. He doesn’t delete, no new lines, no nothing.

I’m not going to touch that little handle to stretch this editor either! last time i tried that i got a kernel panic. I don’t mind using all five lines in it. as if i was 1996 in mobile phones. cute.
