Hi, I tried Arjan kernel RPMs on my shrike laptop, it booted without problems. On the working side, I get 16MB/s write on my maxtor 5000DV external drive mounted through a PCMCIA USB2 adapter instead of 10MB/s for 2.4.20 kernel. On the not working side, both the builtin touchpad/trackpoint and my external USB mouse don't seem to be recognized (GPM and X). Access to my ISP which is done through an USB "speedtouch" modem doesn't work either. Both problems are probably related to userland tools. I don't know where to find logs that might be useful to kernel people, let me know if you're interested by some. Laurent PS: what dmesg says about builtin touchpad/trackpoint: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice synaptics reset failed synaptics reset failed synaptics reset failed Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firware: 5.6 180 degree mounted touchpad Sensor: 1 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: Synaptics Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 input: AT Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 On 2.4.20: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice hub.c: new USB device 00:1f.2-1, assigned address 2 input0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb1:2.0 /var/log/messages about ppp/usb modem: Aug 30 20:45:51 localhost pppd[6162]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Aug 30 20:45:51 localhost pppd[6162]: Using interface ppp0 Aug 30 20:45:51 localhost pppd[6162]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0 Aug 30 20:45:51 localhost pppoa2[6164]: Starting PPPoA2 ( merged version includes new ATM/AAL5 stack ) 1_0 Aug 30 20:45:51 localhost pppoa2[6164]: I'm the parent process, I handle the endpoint 0x07 Aug 30 20:45:51 localhost /etc/hotplug/net.agent: NET add event not supported Aug 30 20:45:51 localhost kernel: HDLC line discipline: version $Revision: 4.8 $, maxframe=4096 Aug 30 20:45:51 localhost kernel: N_HDLC line discipline registered.
