Yamaha CRW 2100

[Åke Svensson]

I'm at a loss here when voodoo didn't do it(!) But maybe you could take at look at the configure options and compile a new kernel? (If you haven't already). And maybe Yamaha have something at their web site, maybe Linux drivers which can be compiled into a new kernel? 

Don't give up!

Ake Svensson
