Silvan, Michael -- thanks for the suggestion to try 2.4.x,   it works.  I have 
reviewed the Dmesgs and nothing jumps out at me.  I will keep 2.4 kernel for 
this week.  Next week I will probably revisit 2.6 kernel.  In the mean time 
should a problem report be made out or should I wait until next week.
