!!! NOTE !!!

This image should be more stable than the previous netboot.  It's based off the 2.6.12-rcX
line of kernels, and I've personally been running a 2.6.12-rc2 kernel for 17 days at the
time of this writing.  That does not mean you will see the same level of uptime.  As
always, YMMV.



!!! WHAT TO DO IF THE SYSTEM OOPSES !!!

In the event you get an oops from using this image, I'd like to know about it.  For those
unaware, an oops is similar to a kernel panic in that it typically locks up the machine.
The difference is that it will generally print a rather big block of semi-undecipherable
text conatining addresses and other pertinent data.  Modern 2.6 kernels do the translation
for you and thus, the use of the 'ksymoops' utility is not normally needed.  In the event
of an oops, simply email me the block of text (copy + paste from your favourite serial
client) along with what you were doing at the time, and if possible, the last few commands
you typed before the oops (or whatever the machine was doing.

I'll see to it that this data gets to the individual responsible for making this port a
reality, in the hopes he is able to make some sense out of it and possibly correct any
problems.

For reference, the System.map file is provided again (even though this is likely not
needed).  It is named ip28-r10k-20050530.sysmap.bz2
