Hi Andrew,

thought I'd give this one a spin before I turned in.

A few issues.

1. NFS goes boom

mount -a -t nfs happens in my bootscripts, and results in

nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c: rpc_lookup_parent failed to find path /nfs/clnt0
RPC: Couldn't create pipefs entry /nfs/clnt0, error -2
NFS: cannot create RPC client.

config and full dmesg at
http://triplehelix.org/~joshk/2.6.7-mm3/

2. Cannot 'halt' or 'reboot' the system

Dunno why. Could be because the oops kind of screwed things up.

3. Noted this in the dmesg:

serial: guess board returned false
serial: guess board returned false

I suppose this is just some old debugging code.

4. New joystick?

input: Analog 4-axis 4-button joystick at <NULL> [ADC port]

I only have one gamepad on my system, and that's

input: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [Logitech Logitech Dual Action] on usb-0000:00:02.1-2

On a more positive note radeonfb hardware acceleration seems to work fine,
so that's really cool.

Good stuff!
