Hi all. 2.4 kernels is generally the biggest problem when building new releases and most, if not all should be able to use 2.6 kernels by now. Considering that I'm currently only planning to provide 2.6 support for the 2007.0 release and forward. Please contact me if 2.6 kernels doesn't work on your alpha so we can try to work out any problems in time for next release. Regards, Bryan =C3=98stergaard PS.
