ok, here's what I've done, so far: 2.6.30 020630 of Jun 10 '09 worked fine, but none of the 2.6.31's have worked so far; I tried a number of them. I downloaded several of them, but only one 31 would show up labled "-generic"; I deleted the 31 that showed up when I did "dpkg -l" then I downloaded 31-rc1-fix1 but it wouldn't show. next I'm trying 31-rc2 of 25 Jun. ... I'll let you know how it goes. Dave
