That's probably the next kernel I'll use, unless I can skip to an even later
one.? I'll still probably run into the same thing though, where I need to
support that kernel for awhile after it's reached end-of-life, until I get some
of the other upgrade problems solved.Please use 4.4 then if you can move, it will "live longer" than 4.1.
Thanks for the suggestions on following stable and your patches, and giving me a better idea of what kind of workload I'm looking forward to.
A lot of work, hopefully your customers are paying you a lot of money to do it, as it's not going to be easy, or cheap... good luck! greg k-h
