I have SLES8 with the latest (precompiled) kernel updates on an AMD64 (HDAMB) system. I also have a Microtech USB Cameramate compact flash/smart card reader. It appears that it does not work. It recognizes it as a usb-storage device, but that's it. It *appears* that the Microtech CompactFlash (DPCM) support is not enabled in the kernel, but I cannot find a kernel compile .config file to check. (Also, I'd *rather* stick with mainstread kernel binaries if I can. Don't really want to o off in a tangent and confuse the Yast2 updates.) -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."
