Hello Kevin:

                     I think you know that 2.6 is not ready yet.  Use a 
stable kernel.  At the moment, 2.4.25 is a stable kernel version.  I 
hope your not using 2.6 in a production environment.  If your just 
testing, keep up the good work.  The Linux community will be nothing 
without guys like you.
