Thanks, I would really rather be running a newer kernel, and this was keeping me from doing so. > In any case it's clear that your KVM is the source of the problem.

It works fine in Mac OS X and Windows XP. The problem is it isn't time to time, this happens repeatedly every 5 seconds. It'd be nice if there was a better workaround than just ignoring the errors and not resetting. If other devices do indeed need this, then something seems to be up if those devices work in Windows when this KVM also works in windows. I guess I'm just saying is that it feels like there should be a better way, but I wouldn't know where to begin on that. But thanks again for the help. > Alan Stern > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
