Type 0x0C is "W95 FAT32 (LBA)" if it is ext3 it should be type 0x83 "Linux". -snip- > It may not be the same problem, but the symptom described above can also be > generated by trying to boot Linux without writing "pci=noacpi" appended to > the kernel command line.

The newer 2.6 kernels such as 2.6.7-rc3 work almost flawlessly with the M6805/7 laptops. There is still the problem of needing to compile USB into the kernel directly instead of as a module though to get the ps2 keyboard to work. I need to contact the kernel guys to see if they have any ideas about what might be causing that problem. Chris
