I must admit that I have not tried the new kernel. So, I will get the
latest (again) and hopefully everything will work this time. The last time
I tried my boot block got messed up somehow. Now, after I get the newest
kernel, what else do I need. Do I need the latest pilot-link and jpilot?
Because I had trouble with the CVS too. Not just a little trouble either.
I had so many errors! But I have had no trouble with anything else...

Not true! The m50x USB works perfectly with the latest kernels. I have
2.4.18, and m500/m505 support works. As of 2.4.19-pre<something> (I think
pre5), m515 support is included as well (I just hacked the m505 support in
mine to get my m515 to work). I'm using Slackware, but the distribution
doesn't matter as long as you're using the same kernel. Check out the
latest from www.kernel.org and see if it your m505 works with that.
