Glad to hear it's working now. I will add the patch and issue a PULL request to get it into the mainline (I had to do this already for several other boards). Regarding your concerns on panic, as long as you have a modern filesystem like ext3, and you don't have alot of applications running which are doing writes, a panic is a pretty safe event. I panic my machine many times a week and never have any problems. Cheers, Devin -- Devin J.
