I would paste my boot messages, but my box has been up for 45 days and they've gone from the logs and the kernel buffers :( Suffice to say `Yep', I've got it working. Not in 2.1.0 tho, although in theory it shouldn't be too difficult to do (I use a post-2.1.5 version). The PnP need initializing, which the normal GUS driver can't supply. You need the gus pnp driver, available from ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/ (somewhere, sorry, it's been a while). I think the filename should stand out tho. I would advise trying to upgrade to 2.1.5 or 2.1.6(.1) though. Yours Gary
