Hi, thank you for your response. I have read about the looping problem that this could be caused by some IRQ/DMA problem. Here is the output from /rpoc:
cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 99385 XT-PIC timer 1: 6 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 2 XT-PIC rtc 9: 0 XT-PIC VIA686A 10: 4555 XT-PIC eth0, usb-uhci, usb-uhci 12: 6 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 11260 XT-PIC ide0 15: 9 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 the problem with the bios is, that with this brand new HP notebook, one cannot do any changes to the bios. The bios setup program lets one set the date and booting device and that's it! There must be a way around this, but I don't know how at the moment. So I don't know whether there is the option PnP Bios installed. Speaking of interrupts, how does one change those if not in the bios?
