Ha! I believe you, having followed LKML for the past several months. I greatly appreciate all of the work you have done both on cleaning stuff up structurally and on getting things to work. I know just how much work that is, having done it myself on smaller projects where I work. (I imagine that Motorola 68k family boards are rather easier to debug than the latest and greatest Intel-type platform, however! I've never had to deal with BIOS or APIC or IRQ routing of any sort or .... well, you get the drift. This is why I appreciate how much work and time you put into this.) I'll play around with a bunch of 2.4 kernels from www.kernel.org to see if I can find a place where it stopped working. It's possible though that none of them will work because the working kernel is a Red Hat 8.0 one with its (unknown to me only because I haven't investigated it) collection of patches. I'll do the experiment and let you know tomorrow if I can find a "it worked here but stopped working here" point. If I get the time I'll also try out the latest 2.5 series... Thanks Eddie P.S. Andre, I assumed you would not want or need to be CC'd. I hope that is the correct assumption. :) -- Edward Kuns Technical Staff Member Rockwell FirstPoint Contact 300 Bauman Ct Wood Dale, IL 60191 Phone: +1-630-227-8070 Fax: +1-630-227-8040 edward.kuns@rockwellfirstpoint.com www.rockwellfirstpoint.com This e-mail is intended solely for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential or privileged material.
