I just got David Moberg's new usb storage kernel to boot and view a list 
of jpgs in my USB camera, but then was unable to view them:

I just booted with this kernel on a different computer that has no USB 
ports and has onchip USB disabled.  Same problem - zgv and Xvesa error 
messages.  (On this computer I could not check plain X with xinit because 
plain X won't work with the Tseng video card here).

When I booted, on both computers, a lot of memory register stuff went by 
at the beginning of dmesg.

David, did you compile not to support graphics, or is this just some bug?

Not a big problem, just curious.

Thanks very much for the USB storage kernel.
