With a small install of 8.0 (first disk only): gpm locks out the keyboard and mouse on a Compaq Deskpro 4000/5166 with kernel 2.4.3. Starting X has the same effect (bad ps/2 handling?). Works fine under 2.2.19. So, we fall back to kernel 2.2.19 -- ALSA "warbles" on an ES1868 (works fine under 2.4.3). The initial tone of a sound simply repeats ad nauseum. (annoying to say the least). Fixed by switching back to kernel sound. Both kernels lack the isapnp module from ALSA. The differing resolutions (framebuffer) selected by default for kernel 2.4 and 2.2 is annoying. kernel 2.2.19-10mdk fails to identify a third serial port at 0x2ef IRQ 9 (always needed to setserial the irq before, but 2.2.19 doesn't even identify the port as being attached to the machine). (did not test on 2.4.3) While the bootup logo (which is a bit too large) is nicely centered with 2.4.3, it is aligned on the left with 2.2.19 and the taxt starts several lines above the bottom of the logo. Test system is a P166 equiped with 6.4GB hda, 96MB RAM, Voodoo 3 2000 PCI (primary), CL 5446 VGA (integrated), Integrated T/LAN card, IDE burner, ES1868 audio. -- Anton Graham GPG ID: 0x18F78541 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RSA key available upon request "And remember: Evil will always prevail, because Good is dumb." -- Spaceballs
