When I first installed 2.1.127 on my laptop I got a few hangups.
Things weren't completely dead, but they were very weird; it seemed as
if anything that required disk activity hung for a _long_ time, but
sometimes succeeded after all.
Applying the above patch _seems_ to have fixed this problem, but I
won't be sure of that until I've run it for a day or so. (And I can't
entirely rule out the possibility of a PCMCIA problem, since I also
upgraded to the 24 October PCMCIA snapshot.) But I thought I should
report, anyway.
(Hardware info: Thinkpad 765D, P166, 32M, 3G IDE, XFree86 xserver_svga,
PCMCIA Ethernet using tulip driver.)
