I have just upgraded to 1.3_ALPHA, the installation process was 
supprisingly painless (thanks!!). One problem I had is that the
kernel doesnt recognise the swap partition automatically anymore,
this was solved by putting an entry in /etc/fstab, but I thought
it's something that should have been highlighted in the install
guide (the machine was hanging when i started X).

Another problem I have is with silo overflows coming from the
serial port. I have a supra33.6 connecting at 28.8k. It worked
fine before, but now I get silo overflows. I read the FAQ and
it said to recompile the kernel with options "LEV6_DEFER" and
"SERIBUF_SIZE=8192". Are these options that were removed from
the amiga kernel in 1.3 ? If so, why ?

..Chris.
