RE: [Cooker] [MDK 8.2]Harddrake Freezes my Dell Inspiron 8000
Well I have been using the Dell XFConfig-4 file ever since 8.1 but sent it to Francois Pons hoping this would be included but I guess its not really so. Yeah that doesnt lockup the system.

I had troubles setting up my display also, but I'm using the dell XFConfig-4 file, which is working fine. My machine also doesn't lock up with harddrake at all. --- SI Reasoning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thursday 28 March 2002 03:29 am, you wrote: > > There are issues with this laptop and APIC.

Re: [Cooker] [MDK 8.2]Harddrake Freezes my Dell Inspiron 8000
There are issues with this laptop and APIC. Try this: in /etc/lilo.conf add to your append= noapic it may look like this append="devfs=mount quiet noapic" This will resolve quite a few of the laptop issues. Unfortunately, it will not resolve the problem associated with suspend to ram crash/reboot if using a pcmcia network (lan) card.
