The kernel panics because in 2.4.18 a call to request_irq() would simply panic. If you hit google, you can probably find a patch to airo.c to make it use request_8xxirq() and 'work', or if you update to 2.4.21 (or was it 2.4.20, I forget now), this is not an issue. -- Tom Rini http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
