When you get the new one out, I'll go ahead and download it.  Right now,
with the exception of these errors and the shutdown error (which you have
already acknowledged and Bruce has indicated is fixed in the CVS) - it is
working for me.

I have no USB devices attached (though the way things are going I am
considering getting some flash devices to store devil-linux on the next time
I am working).  If it means anything, my USB controller shows up as
"usb-uhci".  (I know that there are 3 different types of usb controllers
under Linux 2.4.  [This gets reduced to a single common code in 2.6])

I also see in my syslog from around that time the message: usb.agent: ... no
modules for USB product 0/0/0
