I disabled alarmd on my old device running the #3 Diablo Turbo kernel, since my new device runs the #2 kernel and behaves well. It did not make any difference, battery still drains at 5%/hr.

I could live happily with the #2 kernel, except I cannot find a suitable cifs.ko module and hence cannot mount samba drives.

The cifs.ko provided with the turbo kernel produces an "unknown symbol" (add_preemt_count, sub_preemet_count) when insmoded. I recall it works with the latest (#3) turbo zImage, but I hesitate to flash it.

I can insmod the cifs.ko which comes with wizard mounter, but when I actually try to mount something I get a segfault and I can no longer rmmod the module. It appears to be in use, but without listing a using module.

BTW: what is observability.ko? When I insmod it, I get stipes all over the screen and then the device reboots.
