Hello! I am sure I shall certainly need luck. And I shall certainly make sure = of what it is using when those events happen. Yes this is certainly one of those systems who is happier with either a 2.2.16 or a 2.2.18, and last a 2.2.19 kernel. Where are Eduardo's = patches stored? On the regular project pages? Yes, Patrick, rest assured that if nothing works I will not over react. = Of course I do not expect any really outrageous problems, but it certainly sounds more interesting then usual. -- Gregg C Levine han...@wo...
