Indeed, though I often re-dep and re-image without the make clean/mrproper first,
so I did try rm -rf everything (to be sure), including kernel source and
restarted from tarballs on the last try.  I may attempt to build the 2.6
tree on one of my Debian Woody servers, as I have been using my Debian
Sid box to date.

I too believe that my issues may be 2.6 related as their have been more
significant changes than the stable 2.4 tree.  I plan to retest with
2.4.26 soon though I am pretty busy at the moment.  I will keep you
posted on my success/failures.

cheers,
Ian.
