[Click] Problem with ToHost/FromHost

[Marco Wenzel]

Hi,

first, thank you all very much for trying to help me and giving hints to 
solve my problem.
The reason, why the ToHost/FromHost operations did not work correctly, 
was a wrong configured vanilla-kernel. I think there were some activated 
options missing, to make ToHost/FromHost running correctly.
Now my system is running with gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r13, which was 
compiled with nearly all options activated ("genkernel all") and 
everything works fine.

Marco.
