You know, that worked! :) i've installed the Gembird USB controller (on the Ali chipset), and it now works great!

My attempts to use 2.6.* kernels on this Ultra 10 failed: i had two kinds of problems: 1) upon boot, when SILO loads the kernel, it fails to setup the framebuffer, and i see some slooow messages on SUN text console, and when the first screen fills up, it doesn't show anything more (until X is being loaded) 2) when it switches to X, the screen blanks and nothing shows up. i asked about this previously, and Dave Miller said that there's some bug in X code which expects to find some obsolete paths in /proc/pci/... and to solve that one needs to recompile X from latest sources. so my next question is (since i very much want to switch to 2.6 kernel): have you faced any of the abouve problems? and what did you do to solve them?
