After installing nVidia's nvgart patch, ethernet driver and sound driver a number of problems with the nForce2 chipset got fixed. usb is still a problem. I've been able to get a Sony clie to sync, but intermittantly. Half the time usb doesn't register the device when I try to hot sync. Plugging a webcam gets me log message that show the webcam is noticed, but I don't get a useable device. > > I have a custom 2.4.22 kernel built to use iptables, an ide-cd burner, > a couple of USB devices (I'm not sure what is relevant to the > problem), and so on. > > The kernel boots to the point of installing the usb modules, and barfs > on ehci -- modprobe segfaults twice, but it manages to set up the > scanner.
