It's a mixed bag, I'm sorry to say.

On my home PC it appears to work well, and it no longer hangs if my Epson
C40 USB printer is powered up on bootup (it is attached to Via chipset USB 2
card).

But, trying to boot a single processor Dell PowerEdge 2650 with it was not
successful - it hung at some point in the startup.  As it happened at 6:30pm
last night I haven't any detailed documentation, and it is unlikely that
I'll have the time to investigate further.  The same box runs
kernel-2.4.22-2129 happily.

Cheers,

Phil
