Doesn't ring any bells, but can you try a newer kernel and report the results? 2.6.8 is very old... :)
I am going to change to using etch so will try the 2.6.15? kernel shortly...
I don't know what's the latest hppa kernel for sarge, but you can get the latest prebuilt kernel debs here: http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/download/linux-2.6/
Cool - thanks for the tip.
Or get it directly from cvs...
I'll see what happens... Cheers,Pete.
