Everything worked like a charm with two exceptions: 1) No USB devices were being recognized. I had to manually edit and load the USB driver in /etc/modprobe.conf.dist. After that, no problems. 2) I'm running FC2T2 on a Thinkpad T40 and I can't get sound to work for the life of me. I try to manually load the i810 sound driver ( I think it's snd-intel8x0 under FC2T2 ) but it can't be found. Can anyone confirm whether I'll have to rebuild the kernel to get the driver?

I just tried accessing my cdrw/dvd-rom drive and it's kaput. For who knows what reason, /dev/hdc ( DVD/CDRW ) was not being recognized as a valid block device anymore. I tried mounting the drive under /dev/scd0, recreating /dev/hdc using mknod but still no luck. Also made sure ide/scsi emulation was enabled. I'm going to get a little daring and do a completely new install of FC2T2 now so we'll see how that goes.

ide/scsi emulation was enabled.

I'm going to get a little daring and do a completely new install of FC2T2 now so we'll see how that goes.
