You definatly should *NOT* be running Alpha or Beta software on a
work-critical machine, the workarround is to install an older kernel,
see the big warning topic on the forums.

What do you think the point is of Beta & Alpha releases? To test the
code on a larger ecosystem containing alot more diverse hardware, the
whole discussion is pointless anyway, people clearly don't read
warnings or even solutions when they're staring them in the face.

If my reply sounds abit bitter, it's probably because i am, there's
been alot of whining & wailing about how they were supposed to do this
& that & pull iso's etc etc etc etc ad infinitum, blah
