Comment SMP PS/2 bug makes it UNUSABLE (Score 2, Informative) 467
I installed last night, and I was shocked and horrified to find it my keyboard no longer worked after the install. I have a USB mouse, but a PS2 keyboard -- the mouse worked fine, no keyboard -- it was only after X started that I lose the keyboard.
Aparently, this is a known problem with the 2.6 SMP kernel, and it's still an open bug.
Secondly (after resorting to the single CPU kernel), I was shocked to discover Alt-Tab didn't work properly in X -- it would outline windows, but not actually raise their focus. This was just plain annoying.
Then there is hte fact that firewire support is OFF by default -- comeon, this is NOT a new technology -- I have to recompile the kernel to use my external firewire drive? That's very disappointing.
