Thanks for this. Is the next release likely to have support for a distro with 2.6 kernel then?
It's not clear at the moment, but I definitely wouldn't count on it.

For the time being I have some fairly tight time constraints so have had to leave the transition to the 2.6 kernel for now, although I may come back to it later.
The problems that I was experiencing seem to start with using Mandrake 9.2 as a beginning point, as there are not many guides on the internet (that I could find anyway) that give assistance in upgrading a Mandrake system, which does not seem to be the same as upgrading a Red hat distro for example. The actual symptoms I was experiencing were problems mounting ext3 filesystems (even though the module was built into the new kernel) and no usb support (athough I had again selected the relevant options within the kernel compile process).
Like I say, I'll try to find the time to come back to this at a later stage, but for now am staying with the 2.4 kernel. I'll try to report back to the list at a later stage with regard to any successes I have in case this will help others in the future.
Thanks again,
Richard
