Yep and its got bugs that are fixed in 2.0.3x - there is so much varied
and wonderful PC hardware that this is always going to be an issue.

See http://linux.dialnet.net/LMP. Just because people don't have the time
to bother answering every little bug report doesnt mean they arent being
collated and examined for patterns. We know for example some folks have
problems with a 3c59x and the new ethernet driver, and the that the
becker latest doesnt fix it, we know there is a weird bug in invlpg which
will be fixed in .33, and several people are still hunting an extremely
obscure but annoying buffer handling bug
