P.S. What's with this "resume=/dev/hda15" business ? Anyone know ?
Well, I will keep looking for some answers John.Whats your motherboard model and processor ?

Very Sorry to take so long in replying to your questions, this has entirely been due to hardware problems that I had to solve first , nothing to do with MD10 or the MOBO, namely a new 120Gig hard drive, which I rather foolishly though I needed to set "Cap Limit" when a windblows install baulked at a vital install moment. Oh boy , what trouble to get rid of a mushed up partition table/disk1,and disk2 mess the drive got itself into, and even a low level format did not remove the corrupted data. I solved it in the end. Anyway I digress.
My Mobo is a K7N2 Delta-l
which has a Northbridge Chip
NVIDIA nForce2SPP
supporting DDR200/266/333/400
external AGP 4X/8X
Southbridge Chip NVIDIA nForce2 MCP2 AC97 codecs Ultra ATA-133 USB2.0 EHCI/1.1OHCI OHCI controllerFireWire Audio Processing Unit(APC)Dolby 5:1
Which at the time I last wrote of this did not have USB at all.
Since then, due to the need to LLF the hard drive I have reinstalled MD10 CE again and since I lost the "package save" list I wrote to floppy, I had to go through the entire list again. In a way I'm glad I did, because quite by chance I found a package called something like USB~ cannot remember exactly, anyway since I am looking for usb solutions I chose it not knowing what it did for you, and it's descriptor was similarly vague. I guess it may of been what was needed, I cannot tell because I was able to configure my printer for instance during the install, and that gave me hope.
According to usbview, on desktop,I have both USB 1.1 and USB2 which is glorious indeed. All 6 sockets seem to work, even the scanner is definately usb2, byt the sheer speed.
I have sound now, and I discovered alsamixer for the first time, which was necessary to sort out the sound ports that kmix just doesn't have the capability to see let alone configure.Kmix team please note. I am on the snd-intel8x0 driver with aRts enabled.
All this on all 3 standard install kernels supplied by MD10 CE out of the box.
I did have a problem with lilo not booting my windblows OS, that was solved.
I elected to dump supermount on the floppies as I could not get them to work, and went over to automount instead. They now work with automount. I left the roms with standard setting, working fairly well.
Xcdroast would not initialise on first use without some live media in each drive, and going to setting to choose the drives, after that it doesn't seem to matter anymore. Fingers crossed.
K3b seems OK, with noticable improvements there since anything I last knew about k3b.
I downloaded a good few later kernels to test but suppose that to be unnecessary now ?
