I'm currently sitting on bugs not knowing where to report them. Launchpad tells me: The Linux Kernel Report a new bug Linux does not use Malone as its bug tracker. To report a bug about Linux, please use its official bug tracker. but no clue as to what or where its official bug tracker actually is. I don't know if I need the kernel.org mailing list, or even if they would would be interested in "old" 2.6.15 kernel bugs. I don't know if it means the ubuntu kernel official bug tracker. All I know is that launchpad said "go away" And so I ask one of you to tell me what official bug tracker it is talking about. So I don't loose these details, I get this this oops in my logs when I insert a flash card in my pcmcia slot on a dell M70, uname -r is: 2.6.15-26-386 I have vmware-player installed but not running All is fine if I boot up with the card already installed.
