I recompiled the modules and the kernel too. I did not mention that in my message because this made things worse but could be due to my lack for skill in the compilation process. I used make-kpkg and built 2 debs for the kernel image and the pcmcia modules, installed them and rebooted (with a new boot block for lilo). When /etc/init.d/pcmcia is invoked the machine jammed and had to be restarted with the reset button. I booted then with the old 2.0.36 kernel and configured pcmcia.conf in order to skip this phase at the next boot. I was able then to load the modules manually and discovered that i82365.o was the offending module. > But while I've got you on the phone: I have the same notebook, and my > X server (3.3.5) doesn't recover from a screen blank, like when I > close the lid.

I know that many people have got apm and sound working on this laptop, but that requires 2.2.14, since this kernel has the ESS Maestro driver in the sound system. When I booted the 2.2.14 kernel I compiled with this driver statically built, the sound system announced on the console and a maestro chip was actually recognized but as I told you I had no chance to run the machine and check it out. -- Massimo Massimo Manghi / Dipartimento di Biologia Evolutiva e Funzionale Parco Area delle Scienze 11A | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 43100 Parma (Italia) | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
