2.6.17-beyond1.1 (was beyond1)

I compiled it everything works fine except for 1 small thing:

The fadein on my framebuffer splash takes too long, so it overwrites the status bar with the icons a few times giving a weird flashing effect.

Does anyone else have this problem, or does someone know a fix ?

Seems a problem with 2.6.17 (also tried -no), mount hangs while trying to mount my external hdd's NTFS partition and there is nothing I can do (even shutdown!)! Anyone experiencing the same?

@dev: The only update was the update of the vanilla version right? Because there is a newer suspend2 patch I probably need because suspend2 was not that stable with the previous kernel. So I'm back to the 2.6.16 beyond kernel.

I just migrated from 2.6.16-beyond2 to 2.6.17-beyond1.1 and so far so good. This is on a Dell D610 with an ATI X300 vid card. So far I've suspended to disk and resumed without any issues. I did notice undervolting is no longer functioning:

# echo "798000:700,1064000:796,1330000:876,1596000:956,1995000:1164" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/op_points_table
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

This isn't a major issue for me but thought it's worth noting.

Phlogiston, thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to update the ACPI script on the Undervolting HowTo Wiki.

I ran into one other issue last night when shutting the machine down which may or may not be kernel related. Earlier in my session I had disabled both acpid & cpufreqd, and when I chose to shutdown the machine (via gnome-panel) the machine refused to power down. All the normal shutdown scripts initiated in the standard order, but both acpid and cpufreqd listed as [failed] instead of [ok] and the machine went no further after cpufreqd failed. Instead of powering down, the machine remained on (essentially it was brain dead). I waited a couple minutes and did a hard powerdown; upon reboot the filesystem didn't have any issues so this isn't a major problem. I've powered down multiple times since and haven't ran into any other issues.
