    I am using a P166 PC, the first 3 bugs were in kernel-2.4.0 since the
    test1 release:

    bug#1: If I disable Power Management, my PC clock lags when I leave the
    computer without any activity, I have to compile APM BIOS support IN the
    kernel (NOT even as a module) in order to solve this problem. And yes, my
    motherboard does support APM.

    bug #2: iptables must be compiled into the kernel not as a module, when I
    compiled it as a module, and then depmod it, I got unresolved symbols
    error messages. (I didn't try to compile it as a module in releases after
    test2).

    bug #3: IPv6 wierd thing: after I compiled iptables support IN the kernel,
    I get those messages when I establish a tunnel:

    Jun 23 15:06:45 ants kernel: nf_hook: hook 0 already set.
    Jun 23 15:06:45 ants kernel: skb: pf=10 (unowned) dev=sit1 len=64
    Jun 23 15:06:45 ants kernel: nf_hook: hook 0 already set.
    Jun 23 15:06:45 ants kernel: skb: pf=10 (unowned) dev=sit1 len=64

    and for example when I attempted to 'ping6 3ffe:604:2:bfff::15', or try
    to browse an IPv6 site (I have an IPv6 aware browser) I got those
    messages :

    Jun 23 15:16:54 ants kernel: nf_hook: hook 0 already set.
    Jun 23 15:16:54 ants kernel: skb: pf=10 (unowned) dev=sit1 len=104
    Jun 23 15:16:54 ants kernel: nf_hook: hook 1 already set.
    Jun 23 15:16:54 ants kernel: skb: pf=10 (unowned) dev=sit1 len=104
    Jun 23 15:16:54 ants kernel: nf_hook: hook 4 already set.
    Jun 23 15:16:54 ants kernel: skb: pf=2 (owned) dev=ppp0 len=124
    Jun 23 15:16:54 ants kernel: PROTO=41 163.121.29.81:0 193.126.85.29:0
    L=124 S=0x00 I=0 F=0x4000 T=90

    [pasted from /var/log/messages]

    bug #4: releases starting from test4 (btw, I never tested test3 release),
    had a wierd problem, if I start the X Window, then return back to one of
    the consoles (by pressing ALT + F1 for example), I'd find the console
    colors crazy, right now my console is in blue on black instead of white on
    black, but if I leave the PC for sometime without any activity & then come
    back and move a mouse or press a keyboard key, the console colors return
    to white on black as the ordinary case. As you may expect, if I return to
    the X window screen again (by pressing ALT + F7) then going back to one of
    the consoles, again I find the console colors messed up (blue on black
    again!!!). Anyone knows a solution for this ?
    thanks in advance...
