do you think the final kernel could be 2.6.25? even without the bttv module? that will be a shame... 2.6.25 don't solve ide issues (DVD) in my old ASUS A8V Deluxe... to burn CD/DVD I use 2.6.23 :-( and the lack of bttv module I couldn't use 2.6.25 to see tv (video composite) :-( > > -- > Len Sorensen > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
