Gee! 8-) and you suggested it to me! It was the patch against 2.4.3-pre6 which corrected the system clock slowing down, due to the interrupts being disabled for too long in framebuffer mode. Well, it worked! I'm using it now, and as I mentioned in the past email, my only trouble now is the non-powering down of the machine.

Ah well, again, thanks for monitoring.And here's a few lines to add to that patch too...your patch had neglected to turn on printk for all modules, and when I compiled my kernel, that was fine, but my modules couldn't see printk()!

Thanks again.
