Hi Jacek,

    Try a 2.6.22 kernel. Also, which kernel headers did you end up  
using for your system, too? Which book version did you use for your  
mulitlib build? I've only used HME drivers. I do not know if anyone  
else on this list has used GEM, but for what it is worth, try an  
earlier kernel, not 2.6.23, please.

Sincerely,

William
