2.4.21 seems to be working ok on my PWS 433au running Debian/sarge with the following additions/patches: - Qlogic driver replaced with the one from www.feral.com/isp.html (so that I can use tape drives, I hope) - ALSA package from Debian (make sure you get the current one) - Current XFS patch - Current packet-writing patch - One or two others whose names escape me at the moment, since I'm not near the machine Note that I compile the kernel myself; haven't tried the pre-packaged ones, mostly because they don't have things I need (like XFS). So it can be done. Anything you'd like me to check for you? .....Ron -- Ron Murray ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.rjmx.net/~ron GPG Public Key Fingerprint: F2C1 FC47 5EF7 0317 133C D66B 8ADA A3C4 D86C 74DE
