I'm afraid it is worse than that, Damien.  I found that I had lost all 
use of the usb hub, and indeed all usb directly connected.  I 
strongly suspect that the pwcx module is not compatible with the 
win4lin patch.

I have booted to an unpatched kernel, run a manual insmod and found 
that GnomeMeeting runs fine (and other usb equipment is recognised).  
However, I now can't get back into my Win4Lin patched kernel.  I took 
the insmod line out of modules.conf, but during bootup I am still 
seeing

finding module dependencies:  depmod:  ***Unresolved symbols in 
/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/misc/pwcx-2.4.20.o

At the point of probing for hardware the system freezes.

How can I get rid of this altogether in this kernel?  I'll use the 
other one when I want to run GnomeMeeting, but I need the Win4Lin 
from time to time.

If there is anything I can do to help you get information you 
want/need for future use, please tell me, as well as how to solve my 
pressing problem.  Thanks

Anne
