Umm, why are you reporting a bug against a kernel that is over four months old?
(In reply to comment #1) > Umm, why are you reporting a bug against a kernel that is over four months old? What's wrong with that, exactly? If nothing else, it is good for archival purposes. If someone else hits the same bug on a current kernel, you'll know that it's been around for a while.
I've updated to the latest kernel 2.6.24.4-64.fc8. How would I know if this specific bug was fixed in this new kernel? Should I close this bug then and to what status?
