I am running this on the 2.6.6-1.427 kernel without any problems. This was brought to my attention in an earlier post this past weekend. Unfortunately my Linux server at work had a network connection problem, so I cannot tell you the name of the thread. I also had a problem on one of my virtual Windoze (XP Pro) machines -- could not install VMware tools (my W2K was fine). This happened because I had removed the CDROM. After adding it back, I still had problems, so I created a new virtual machine, backed-up the current one, and then decided to upgrade the virtual hardware... That did the trick... All others --- if you are using VMware workstation, make sure you install the latest. Ed
