Stock kernels before 2.4.19 (I think) had this problem. It "should"
work fine with 2.4.21. However I think you should check your .config.
You may need to recompile with some additional option enabled.
Maybe look at the change logs at kernel.org.
Sorry for the cryptic response; a work mate had this problem just
the other day, and a compiling a 2.4.21 kernel did solve the problem.
I'd ask him, but he's out right now.
Nick.
