RickS wrote: P.S. What's with this resume=/dev/hda15 business ? Anyone know ? Well, I will keep looking for some answers John.Whats your motherboard model and processor ? RickS Very Sorry to take so long in replying to your questions, this has entirely been due to hardware problems that I had to solve first , nothing to do with MD10 or the MOBO, namely a new 120Gig hard drive, which I rather foolishly though I needed to set Cap Limit when a windblows install baulked at a vital install moment. Oh boy , what trouble to get rid of a mushed up partition table/disk1,and disk2 mess the drive got itself into, and even a low level format did not remove the corrupted data. I solved it in the end. Anyway I digress. My Mobo is a K7N2 Delta-l which has a Northbridge Chip NVIDIA nForce2SPP supporting DDR200/266/333/400 external AGP 4X/8X Southbridge Chip NVIDIA nForce2 MCP2 AC97 codecs Ultra ATA-133 USB2.0 EHCI/1.1OHCI OHCI controllerFireWire Audio Processing Unit(APC)Dolby 5:1 Which at the time I last wrote of this did not have USB at all. Since then, due to the need to LLF the hard drive I have reinstalled MD10 CE again and since I lost the package save list I wrote to floppy, I had to go through the entire list again. In a way I'm glad I did, because quite by chance I found a package called something like USB~ cannot remember exactly, anyway since I am looking for usb solutions I chose it not knowing what it did for you, and it's descriptor was similarly vague. I guess it may of been what was needed, I cannot tell because I was able to configure my printer for instance during the install, and that gave me hope. According to usbview, on desktop,I have both USB 1.1 and USB2 which is glorious indeed. All 6 sockets seem to work, even the scanner is definately usb2, byt the sheer speed. I have sound now, and I discovered alsamixer for the first time, which was necessary to sort out the sound ports that kmix just doesn't have the capability to see let alone configure.Kmix team please note. I am on the snd-intel8x0 driver with aRts enabled. All this on all 3 standard install kernels supplied by MD10 CE out of the box. I did have a problem with lilo not booting my windblows OS, that was solved. I elected to dump supermount on the floppies as I could not get them to work, and went over to automount instead. They now work with automount. I left the roms with standard setting, working fairly well. Xcdroast would not initialise on first use without some live media in each drive, and going to setting to choose the drives, after that it doesn't seem to matter anymore. Fingers crossed. K3b seems OK, with noticable improvements there since anything I last knew about k3b. I downloaded a good few later kernels to test but suppose that to be unnecessary now ?

I have 4 USB ports to rear and 2 USB ports plus the bios LED's to header panel(which I actually have in the back, no matter) but since I haven't got them set up and working yet I cannot say which are USB1or2, though I'm kind of hoping they are all either USB1 or USB2 according to the equipement that gets plugged in. I think your right. The first three entires have a tab called Configure Module whereyou are invited to make some entries in the fields provided. The field begins, log2_irq_thresh.

Any suggestions welcomed. John I started with mdk 10 official and had some problems with acpi for the 2.6.3-7 kernel. lilo.conf was set to acpi=ht was giving me irq's that were shared, so I had no sound and no networking eth0. what kernel are you running ? I did the standard MD10.0 CE install which supplies both, vmlinuz-2.4.25-2mdk with, append=devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda15 splash=silent and, vmlinuz-2.6.3-4mdk with, append=devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda15 splash=silent You think I should change, acpi=ht to apic=off ? I can boot either. can you type $cat /proc/interrupts [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 233653 XT-PIC timer 1: 1687 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 4: 86597 XT-PIC serial 5: 24392 XT-PIC usb-ohci, NVidia nForce2 6:994 XT-PIC floppy 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 10: 0 XT-PIC usb-ohci 11: 232076 XT-PIC ehci_hcd, eth0 12: 160765 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 13022 XT-PIC ide0 15: 36228 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 233617 ERR: 64 MIS: 0 To which I deduct 5 and 10 pertain. Cannot see a conflict there. But no usb-uhci ??? Which I assume to be the USB2 if I had it working . It looks as though your not using local apic which is included in the the 2.6.3-7 kernel. you can check /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-7/arch/i386/defconfig* to find out what was confgured in any kernel and /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-7/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to read what lilo append will accept, if ya didn't already know. but.. my box is using lapic with the tmb kernel. And the 2.6.3-7 would work with lapic but wouldnt come from suspend. Mark Annandale posted that he put 'noapic lapic' in lilo and IIRC this was posted before as a fix, and he seems to be working now. You could try that and see if this fixes anything .. I didn't try the 2.4.25 kernel but I could boot the 2.6.3-7 kernel and sound worked but no eth0 and was having DMA issues. I did have a share with usb-ohci and eth0 on irq 12 which seemed to be the problem. my interrupts are like this now.
