Mandrake's 2.4.20-0.3mdk kernel doesn't have this problem, and it is based on 2.4.20-rc2. So - where would I start looking for the possible differences that could be causing it in the 2.4.20-rc2/rc3? Mandrake adds too many patches for me to just shoot in the dark.

Try and backtrack from a working kernel till you find a kernel which doesn't work. Then you can check the diff between the non working and the last working kernel

Good luck,

2.4.20-pre8 is the last working one - and the diffs are huge. I was hoping for a pointer to a module to look at - the whole thing is a bit large.
