Is is possible for you to test a more recent kernel, say 2.6.13-rc6. I looked in upstream's git and there have been a few changes that might be relevant there. Also, could you send the output of lspci -v and the output of dmsg from failures under various kernels. Thanks -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
