Josh,
~    Great to see you on the list!  I am assuming x86, and I think you
had told me something about a possilbe Knoppix install.  Here are a
couple of things that will help:

The output of uname -a:

The relevant lines at the end of dmesg output just after connecting the
iRiver unit to your machine

The config file associated with your kernel, found in /boot with a name
like config-2.6.10-x86 or something.

We can then look at the config file and the patch that link mentions.
It looks to be quite a small patch; possibly even something configurable
in the menuconfig interface, which is accessed via the &quot;make menuconfig&quot;
command.
