Yeah, it's a reasonable suggestion but actually I home compiled a 2.4.20 kernel just recently to solve the USB disk problem I had last year (solved nicely). I thought this problem might evaporate with that, but no luck. As far as I remember it has been the same with all the 2.4 kernels I've had. Perhaps I could go back and check some of the earlier ones. If I had definite info that there was a patch which might affect this I would toy with it again, but I should be pretty up to date. > [...] > > > It might be worth updating the whole distribution soon.
