The differences between 2.4 and 2.6 are quite significant. Whether they are related in any way to your failure is a different question... In any case, I recommend doing your testing with 2.6 for two reasons: It's more robust, and the Linux USB developers are more familiar with it. > Regarding your other question, I've never *heard* of Alt-SysRq-T ... should > I be embarassed to admit that??
