Someone else mentioned this to me recently too but we don't know the cause. I thought it was due to a locale without UTF but that wasn't the case. If someone with MacOS could investigate or comment, that'd be great. > Problem number two: I first tried to install to an SDHC (8GB) card > in the slot.

But this doesn't seem to be the case here since you probably used the default partition scheme which creates a separate /boot partition. And you're saying that it was impossible to mount the SD/USB card on another PC (which I haven't heard before).

Yeah, run: flash-kernel 2.6.32-trunk-kirkwood and reboot. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
