I haven't experienced anything like this, my etch system runs fine (no pcmcia on this box). I did have a box previous to this one that I needed to use the noapic option to load the kernel or various odd things that I can't remember now would happen. Give it a try and see if it works. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
