honestly i don't know why i try anymore.
phil had a potential lustre fix he wanted me to try, so i went to get the vaio. at some point during the last 2 or 3 days (while the laptop was suspended), something happened which screws up interrupts in linux.
as i unsuspended, i got a "hda: timeout" message, and when i tried to use lustre i got a bunch of "eth0: TX timeout" messages. on reboot, the wavelan card doesn't work ("RequestIRQ: Resource in use"). oh and before you ask, yes it works with windows.
it's now some 2 hours later, and i'm going to hope it fixes itself while i sleep, else it's going to get an acpi kernel in the morning. and really, nobody wants that.
highs and lows for the day:
- i got past the invisible sword guys in halo
- the bruins lost to the rangers
