I'm fairly sure that 2.6.18 has been released, Noodles probably knows better than I... *looks at kernel.org* - yup, it's been released, 2006-09-20 was the release date :)
Yes, I know that, but there's no distribution with the released version of the 2.6.18 kernel in it yet - at least not a 'major' distribution. I need to get something up and running in order to enable me to build a released 2.6.18 kernel.
Debian Unstable has it... That's a rather major distribution... OK - so it's not a released distribution... ;) I believe that Ubuntu Egdy ships at the end of the month with the 2.6.18 kernel too...
While I've been waffling away here the system *has* rebooted successfully and now I can make TCP connections to the outside world!
:-) Thanks very much indeed.
Not a problem, as I said, was bitten by this on someones gentoo system a while ago, and on a couple of our servers a while after that... so it came to mind :)
