Hi, I managed to wrestle my gigE to the ground and get it to boot 2.6.27. I have, however, noticed that some messages are showing up in dmesg. There are alot of them. They are continuous. They appear to come from drivers/usb/core/hub.c:2916. It looks like they come in pairs (this beast has two ports (root hubs)). I plugged in a USB CF reader. It appears to work. The keyboard and mouse (a Logitech wireless receiver) seems to work. 2.6.24 did not do this. kevin
