I've just downloaded the 1.28 snapshot and will try that, but I can try the git version if you like. I get the status of both jobs but it get stuck at > Jobs: 1 (f=0): [_W] [100.0% done] [ 0/ 0 kb/s] [eta 00m:00s] I'll try 1.28 & let you know. I haven't updated the kernel is a few days, so I can try the latest git as well. regards Richard
