Could you try to upgrade to the 2.6.24 kernel from sid? Basically, I recommend you first make a backup of your flash content so you can go back to your current kernel in case the upgrade to 2.6.24 fails. Do: cat /dev/mtdblock? > backup and save the file somewhere. Then upgrade to 2.6.24: wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.22-3-ixp4xx_2.6.22-6_arm.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.22-3-ixp4xx_2.6.22-6_arm.deb reboot Would be good to know whether you still see this problem with 2.6.24. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
