It would seem odd, however, that this heat effect is only apparent in 9.0 with 2.4.19 or 2.4.21 kernels. There were no problems of this sort in 8.2 with the 2.4.18 kernel. There is also a difference in the nature of the problems wrt usb between 2.4.19 and 2.4.21 such that it makes me suspect a change in the kernel code rather than a problem with hardware, per se.
If using these kernels is more compute-intensive then wouldn't that logically jack up the heat?
that too. 2.4 has been a kind of rocky road as far as the word "stable" is usually used, actually had me considering *BSD for a bit until I installed the stuff on some systems.
