2.4.19-pre something (Gentoo's megapatch), and that was my impression in the past. I'm not into kernel 2.5 testing at the moment, so I wouldn't know.

If I must install such a dual boot machine, I give NT its' NTFS for the system and leave a big partition in fat32 for all to share. but I try not to get to that situation in the first place :) -- The man with the golden .sig Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ This post is encrypted twice with ROT-13.
