It all works great under 2.1.6, and a 2.2-current from about 9 months ago. However, it will not work under 2.2-ALPHA, or 2.2-BETA. It goes through all the typical boot kernel messages, by dies just after the last one (happens to be a disabled apm0). The screen gets bad characters written into the first 3 lines and the system is frozen. It is freezing up between the end of the kernel boot messages, and the start of the filesystem messages. At 2.1.6 booting a 2.2-BETA kernel does the same thing. -- Brian Litzinger brian@mpress.com
