Kernel and Hardware
During the release report there was a discussion about hardware issues. The intel i915 driver has been causing issue for people for some time now. In particular some laptops which utilise dual graphics adapters for power saving. This problem shows itself continuous rebooting.
Later kernels appear to perform better with these boxes we are working on making a later vanilla kernel available for users who are having these difficulties. We hope to include this on the upcomong beta -
