Thanks, Axel. My only wish list is ACPI patch, which is now a standard 
part of the 2.4 kernel starting from 2.4.22.
Before Fernando's kernel I was using my home built kernel from Suse (8.0 
or 8.2 ?) kernel src.

I'm not sure that Red Hat included it: may be in fedora, but I didn't 
test FC1 yet.

Thanks,
