Unless there are any better suggestions, does anyone have a chance
to look at trying to track down when this problem started?
The best way would probably be to install a 1.5.x system then
use anoncvs to update a source tree to various dates in between
and compile a test kernel. Might want to start by generating a
-current toolchain and compiling a 1.5.x kernel with that to
eliminate toolchain issues (and confirm you have a toolchain that
should be able to compile any intermediate kernel :)
Unfortunately our ulpt using box is also formula1.com's main
internal fileserver that makes it a little hard to play with :(
