Can I go to the console 2 when I'm connecting to my box with minicom ? I not, I can give you what you need for the moment. I'll wait for your new upload >> Back to my 7043-150.

So, as I've no more idea about this probleme, I'll wait your new upload of kernel 2.6.8-5 with scsi transport to install my 7043-140 and use mkvlinuz to try your tip > Friendly, > > Sven Luther > Regards Nicolas
