Would it help to copy and post my exact error messages?  Or try on a 
different computer with ohci instead of uhci?  We are putting together a 
replacement for the Compaq that won't boot your kernel and can stick in an 
ohci add-on card.  The two boards with USB already working seem to be uhci 
(one tested that way, the other also has VIA chips).  Can't disable USB in 
the Compaq BIOS.

I just noticed that even when the kernel works (with Compact Flash) I get 
the same message about there being no active driver for the card, before 
the usb-storage part is loaded during boot.

Maybe I did something stupid like forget to power on the camera.

I will try to post that part of dmesg, near the end.

My partner asks if loadlin can work from within Windows - Win98 or XP.
We are tired of making Win98 computers for people and have three orders 
and would like to make them dual boot, with BL3 loop and Opera (and a 
nonwinmodem).

I did that with the 1-floppy BL3 that I modelled on BL2 - left out X and 
documentation and put on zgv and the two libraries for it.  SW40 version 
worked better than SW32, I think.

Many thanks, I will wait.
