Re: Some problems with 2.6.13.4

[Nico Schottelius <nico-kernel@schottelius.org>]

After some heavy compile hours, here are the results:

- 2.6.13.1 and 2.6.13.2 behave the same way with the same config.

For reference I now published the configs [0]. 2.6.12.5 was the config
source, all others where generated using make oldconfig.

Perhaps there's a somehow heavy configuration mistake in it?

Btw, Daniel Aubry fixed his keyboard problem with disabling usb keyboard support
in the bios (is this really the right way?).
