I think this may be the crux of the issue.  I don't recall what i compiled
the kernel with, but it may have been 2.95.  I'm working on rebuilding the
kernel to see what happens.  If this is the case, I'll have some egg on my
face, but at least it will be in the archives for anyone else having similar
issues.

I was trying to be complete, but this slipped my mind.  Others have 
responded having similar setups working, and I spent the weekend eliminating
hardware faults as a possibility.  

If it persists, I'll be sure to include more details.  

Thanks to the list for all the input I've recieved.
