I found the battery/power options appear to work well also. Sounds like
you had similar experience with the suspend mode under windows as well.
:)
Interesting about the filesystem type. Looking at dmesg on my laptop I
found this:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 144k freed
In my fstab it clearly has / as an ext3 file system. Think this could
be a typo in the log message?
You may have found a bug. A benign bug but still a bug.
