SO..... Look for software differences: * Perhaps try to run the Knoppix Kernel on Ubuntu? Or at least a similar version? * Try the extra command-line options to the kernel as pointed out earlier. * Check the actual drivers to see if you have the same kernel modules installed/running (lsmod). For example, maybe it's a UHCI v *HCI issue? * Check your module configuration parameters between the working and non-working systems Good Luck! -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warlord at MIT.EDU PGP key available
