this was hard for me .. as a Linux amateur :-/ Although there are so different Linux systems, maybe you can have a look at what I did and give me a feedback - if possible: I "googled" a lot and found out to put this "kernel command line parameter" into the GRUB config. Although I am not sure the "clock" parameter is allowed (I did not find it in a list of these) I first entered it manually when GRUB started and - as the boot-process seemed to work "normal" I added it to the Grub config file (/boot/grub/menu.lst). This is not named Grub.cfg anymore for my O/S but menu.lst is the right one, I think. I added it to the following lines within menu.lst: .... default 0 timeout 8 clock=hpet gfxmenu (hd2,0)/boot/message ... At least there seems no negative result when booting. Is that the right way to proceed? Thank you very much in advance for your help Georg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
