Nothing happens on the inspiron 5000 (I don't have the other one handy right now). I tried reading from all the files in that directory, including those in the boot subdirectory, and it worked fine. lspnp also works and its output makes sense. This is with 2.4.10-ac4, obviously, since 2.4.9-ac16 doesn't boot. Ion -- It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.
