HI Charlie et al, I completely blew away my modules directory and rebuilt my kernel to use uniprocessor (I never did like those canned kernels and canned modules - call me old fashioned but they generally cause me grief). Now, USB works like a champ! I've just printed several docs using CUPS and gimp-print - sweet! Bummer that this doesn't work under SMP...is this a known problem? I doubt my computer is *that* unique. I really would like my SMP back. :-) I did notice one thing - eth0 and usb-uhci are sharing an interrupt. The motherboard magically assigns this and I believe that I can't override it. I wonder if this is causing the problem in SMP mode. I guess I'll keep my eyes open for kernel rev 2.4.7. Later, and thanks, Andy On Saturday 14 July 2001 23:43, ccb@acm.org wrote:

Hi Andy -

Long time no see.

2 things:

That kernel comes with EXT3 already integrated in the source. Once you have an ext3 kernel you can enable it by changing fstab. Disable it by changing fstab. The on-disk structure is the same.

Start debugging by booting with the second CPU turned off. You could be locking on MP bug. Used to happen with me and my HP720 OfficeJet until they get their MP act together.
