It must support USB booting for this to work.

I think that USB2 support isn't in 2.4.18, and even if it is, it's quite aged. Newer is better in this case. | Third question: | If I build all USB supports into my kernel (say y rather than m to all usb | drivers), | can I still remove the device on my wish (hot plugging) or for that purpose | I must have all usb related drivers as modules? Modules aren't required for hotplug support. Yes, you can still remove and add USB devices. -- ~Randy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: A Thawte Code Signing Certificate is essential in establishing user confidence by providing assurance of authenticity and code integrity.
