A self-compiled kernel based on the Ubuntu "gutsy" kernel sources
(linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22-12.36_all.deb, for whatever that is worth) boots
successfully, after applying your patch (which applied cleanly)

Thanks so much for your help,

Stefan Boresch

PS: BTW, your original post (diagnosis of hardware issues) has also
convinced my vendor to do some work to honor his warranty. So, my next
job is to dig into the big box which just arrived by fed-ex containing
all possible replacements (including a new motherboard ..). Maybe,
I'll eventually get U320 running on this machine ;-)
