I actually don't remember which modules are needed for the cdrom to work properly. Any suggestions? I've got sr_mod, ide_cd, and cdrom loaded according to lsmod. This is the only thing I haven't been able to fix since I've received answers to my questions. :) > > Second, on boot up dhclient tries eth0 and errors out.

It found on ETH1 a Sub GEM (PCI) 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet. When I lsmod, it shows a modules called sungem, sungem_phy, and crc32 as loaded... So I put 'sungem' above 'firewire-eth thingy' and it works on boot now. I am interested in fixing it the right 'hotplug' way, should I just wait for an update, or is there a fix you know of that I can do right now? > Can you try the stock 2.6.7 and tell us if the battery problem also happens > there ? The stock 2.6.7 didn't work, but I added apm_emu to /etc/modules, as Matijs van Zuijlen and you directed me to and it comes up at boot now. Thanks!! -M.
