What I have discovered is that my motherboard only supports usb-ohci and not usb-uhci. Reading on the wiki, it says that ztdummy requires usb-uhci.
To make things worse, I slapped in a TDM22B just to get timer support, only to discover that the machine kept crashing because of a hardware conflict with my RAID controller. Really weird!
This is always an interesting question, but when you say "the machine
kept crashing" is that a bios issue, or a linux (and modules) issue? ie,
does it not bootup, does it work fine then after x minutes you get a
oops, or a what?? You don't provide *ANY* details.... did you try
putting the various cards in different slots? What type are the slots
you are using? etc...
Sorry for being vague. Yes, I tried different slots 32-bit and 64-bit PCI slots. The machine boots fine. After a few minutes of working, there was a constantly scrolling error message on the console about a TDM interrupt conflict. At that point, the machine was unresponsive, other than the error message continuously scrolling. I had to hard boot the machine. In one occasion, I was able to see a message that was 3ware RAID controller stopped working. I couldn't really diagnose it so well because this was during work hours and the machine had to be in production, so I had to remove the TDM22B board and let the machine continue working without it (and without MeetMe either).
Anyway, my only three other options are: 1) Compile kernel 2.6, which I'd hate to do
Why, I don't see what it is about 2.6.x kernel that is so bad compared
to 2.4.x kernel??? 2.6.x is the current stable linux kernel version....
IMHO, it just works better....
I agree. I also prefer 2.6.x. That's what I run on my Debian machines. However, REL3 does not support 2.6.x. They don't even have an RPM for it. I would have to get one from kernel.org and that would void any support Red Hat may provide.
2) Replace either the motherboard or the RAID controller, which is worse than option 1
Depends, if you end up with a better machine in the end? though I don't
see how (1) is bad at all, so yes, this would be worse :)
It's a pretty good machine I'm using (dual Xeon). The only thing that would make it "better" would be to make MeetMe work :)
Just my 0.02c worth...

Thanks, Daniel
