I'm running Mandrake 9.1 stock kernel (2.4.21mdk). The USB ports (2.0) on the machine seem to work, but those on the port replicator are dead as are those on an external 2.0 hub plugged into the machine ports. Interestingly, the 1.1 port on my external keyboard is live as long as the keyboard is plugged into the machine port. Even though the machine based ports are live, they don't function as plug 'n play...if devices are not plugged into the ports during the boot process, they are never seen by the running OS. It is also interesting that the external ports are active while the BIOS is calling LILO...they only die after the kernel loads. Any knowledge out there on how to activate the hub based ports and how to make them true pnp. TIA Paul
