It's a SD-ADSAIDE-S1, with a sil3611ct80 chip on board. My question would be, what makes the 2.6.22 kernel different enough than the 2.6.18 kernel that this setup is causing problems in .22. Is .18 masking the problems, or is .22 just looking at things with tighter tolerences, so it's more sensitive? -- Mark Paulus 2424 Garden of the Gods Rd | Phone: v622-5578 / 719-535-5578 0419/117 - LEC Access ; D5-1010 | FAX: 719-535-1665 Colo Springs, CO 80919 | 1800PageMCI / 1406052 AIM : mgpaulus1 / sametime : mark.paulus --------------050304060305090703050704 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="mark_paulus.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mark_paulus.vcf" begin:vcard fn:Mark Paulus n:Paulus;Mark org:MCI;Lec Interfaces / 40419 adr;dom:;;2424 Garden of the Gods Rd;Colorado Springs;CO;80919 email;internet:mark.paulus@verizonbusiness.com title:Mark Paulus tel;work:719-535-5578 tel;pager:800-pagemci / 1406052 tel;home:v622-5578 version:2.1 end:vcard --------------050304060305090703050704--
