I can agree with the above in theory but... > USB: disable early handoff on Dell Precision WorkStation 380 ... the 380 seems like a poor case. Did you talk to Matt Domsch about this? In fact, we did have lots of handoff problems with the 380 on both RHEL 3 (2.4 kernel with out-of-tree handoff patch) and RHEL 4 (2.6.9 with more-or-less 2.6.12-level handoff). Its SMM BIOS was badly broken, that's just how it is. But there was an update. I remember that because I was able to redirect all bugs related to the 380. I even had it marked somewhere what A-level the minimum working BIOS on 380 is... only it's difficult to find :-) -- Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
