Re: Via Velocity Concerns

[augustus]

I just tried his 2.6.8-rc1-mm1 and it doesn't fix it.  In fact, EHCI USB 
support seems to hang.  I disabled it and it booted to the same point as 
before and kernel paniced.  FYI, the driver also didn't compile cleanly.  
I had to add a member to a struct to get it to compile correctly.  I'll 
get you specifics on that if needed but it's very easy to spot if you 
attempt to compile the driver.  Where should I go from here?  I can work 
on getting the info from the panic but since the system is almost dead at 
that point cutting and pasting is not an option.
