Hi Magnus, First up, can you make sure you have the latest 2.4.27-2-686, that is 2.4.27-8, not 2.4.27-7 which had a small apic patch missing that mayed a lot of hardware go haywire. Secondly, after you have done that, and if things aren't happy on 2.4.27-8, then can you try booting with acpi=off. If it still isn't happy could you please send your dmesg output. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
