No. It's quite simple. I've worked on trying to replicate the problem today. Tomorrow I'm out at a meeting and since I'm no longer working on the problematical hardware, it is being returned. That means there's about 15 minutes left before I go to sleep before having to be up early tomorrow to go on a 2 hour journey to attend a meeting. What do you want me to do with those 15 minutes? Perform a miracle maybe? David, I ask you to retract your unreasonable mail. I'm being quite calm here. I'm just pointing out the facts that as of *now* I'm no longer in a position to test. I was rather hoping that being crystal clear about the reasons about _why_ I'm no longer able to continue participating in his problem that I would be seen not to be unreasonable. I guess I'm just cursed. Sorry. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core
