> - Always cold boot the machine.
Thanks for the tip! As long as I make sure to press the reset button during a
reboot, it works fine.
I applied the patch you suggested (reversing the 2.0.4 -> 2.0.5 change), but it
doesn't do a lot of good. Sure the machine doesn't lock, but the probe fails
and there's no sound after booting is complete. That's after a *soft* reboot:
after a hard reboot it *does* work but then it was working anyway.
I append the dmesg o/p so you can see the problem.
Have you any suggestion of some other change between 2.0.0 and 2.0.18 that might
make it work again? I'd be happy to try any. I don't really want to have to
press the reset button for ever and a day.
Cheers ... Duncan.
