Are those *other* kernels from the 2.4.x variety? if Yes, this does not surprise me. For the 2.6.x kernels: Are you running udevd? and is hal installed? If not that would be your first order of business. WARNING: udevd does require some hand holding, so be prepared to give it that. But once you work out the stuff... it'll be just fine! -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
