Subject: Re: 2.6.39-rc5-git2 boot crashs

I disabled now CONFIG_IDE , CONFIG-X86_ELAN , 
CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED-PATFORM .  Alias, moorestown I enabled 
since 2.6.37 because it gave big problems on my computer 
too.

On the other hand, I re-enabled CONFIG_MTD and 
CONFIG-MISC_FILESYSTEMS , what I disabled yesterday.


On booting, it came back the non-crash error reported 
earlier, see the enclosed syslog.  Thus, this may be 
caused by MTS oMISC_FILESYSTEMS.

The unzip problem now didn't occure, I could unzip a 140 
MB and a 460 MB file without it crashed.

Actually it works stable? I have to continue to observe 
what happens.

   1 enclosed file, syslog
