I didn't know that it got obsoleted, I read through the config and caught
things
like software suspend and such. Thanks a lot. I'll try to test it at lunch if
I
can because I can no longer ssh to my computer from work.

one question, if I boot back into a 2.4.x kernel will the mounting line in
fstab
cause any problems?

Thanks a lot,
David
