Hello,

I have just bought an U2W drive for my P2B-LS Board, and I have a little problem:

I start by doing a newsfetch (for retriving some news...) and I have compiled
newsfetch, alevt, cdrecord and I do a top:
9:36pm up 11 min, 3 users, load average: 0.50, 0.41, 0.21
32 processes: 31 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 0.5% user, 0.7% system, 0.0% nice, 99.0% idle
Mem: 258012K av, 254920K used, 3092K free, 20456K shrd, 198200K buff
Swap: 130748K av, 0K used, 130748K free 23840K cached
