It's not my new machine - I won't have that for at least a 10-14 days - I've
only managed to make Dell accept the right order as of yesterday!

Me too!

I am having a look at 2.5.64 as quite a number of mounting problems have
been found in 2.5.63 (up to and including oopsing on NTFS mounts).  AFAIK
everything is fine with the system setup - it certainly worked for earlier
2.5 kernels and for 2.4.20, so something must have changed.

Folks.. this is why they are _development_ kernels.. ;)
