Do you mean "No, I didn't try" or "I tried, but it didn't happen to me"?

I can make it work, but only in a way I would consider "work around" or
"hackish".

I have an Epia ML 5000 (I don't know the revision off the top of my
head), which is very similar to the M, but with less hardware.  I really
don't think the hardware is an issue.  The Epia-M tree works fine
(albeit with a delay at the beginning, which is easily removed by
disabling the firewire code), as does my modified Epia ML tree.  I've
used both the 2100 and the "newest" SVN revision without any issues,
other than the build issue I mentioned.
