If the kernel should be doing something, and doesn't, the first place to look is in the log file. It will be there. Next, make sure that what you want is enabled in the first place. I've lost track of the number of cluebies who whine about hdparm, and you have to beat out of them that their kernel doesn't know what their IDE chipset is. They don't have enough clue to figure anything out, yet somehow they think they have enough clue to filter the information they're giving to the person they DO expect to figure it out, on the premise that no one would need to know that anyway. -- Marc Wilson | Everybody has something to conceal. -- Humphrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Bogart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
