Tobias, All, Just dropping a note to say that kernel26-2.6.35.2-1-x86_64 works fine on my box-from-hell that had the hardlock on boot problems with 2.6.34. Compiz works, Virtualbox works, so it looks good. (I'm on my test drive and my mail is on the drive I just took out, so sorry I couldn't simply reply to the [signoff] thread...) -- David C.
