The symptom with this was that the keyboard was unresponsive. I've briefly tried debian unstable's 2.6.32-4-xen-686. All I tried was manually loading the module in single user mode. This printed to the console a line including the PCI slot occupied by the card, then seemed to be hung. The keyboard was still responsive (ctl-c would display ^C on the console for example, but it was stuck in kernel space at a guess so the signal wasn't delivered?) -- I then gave up. I didn't look at dmesg as I was in single user mode and couldn't easily. As you suggest that this should work, I will persist and see if I can find out the problem. I wanted to avoid flogging a dead horse.. If you have any suggestions as to what the likely problem is, or things to look for I am all ears. regards, Richard
