Re: Motherboard compatibility - AMD
Hi all and thanks for the tips. The problem seems to be solved (at least until now) using the option acpi=off. I'm writing this message on the rt kernel on the same machine that locked up only a few moments after booting, now it is working for about one hour, running jack, ZynAddSubFx, Rosegarden, Hydrogen and Rackarrack. Once again thanks for your advice. I've tried to look for a newer bios version for this board but I'm already using the latest version. How this acpi=off option will impact on the system performance? I will make some more tests using alternative acpi configurations tomorrow and I'll let you know the results.

Re: Motherboard compatibility - AMD
John, powering off and on would not work. I did not know about "nautilus.. I used a terminal routine which solved my panel repopulation question. Yes, it was gnome related. Many, many thanks!

Re: Motherboard compatibility - AMD
Hello Fernando, Scot & John: kindly ignore my earlier request. I learned it's feasible to do a gconftool correction in terminal: rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel Finally,reload panel: pkill gnome-panel it worked and I'm using my laptop again. Thanks again.

Re: Motherboard compatibility - AMD
Fermando, Scot & John/Anyone: My Acer Laptop lost its panel "applications"; "places"; "System"; "Shut Down" panel drop down. Nothing remains to restore. Right clicking does not pop up a shut down either; but right clicking does come up with options: "Create Folder, Create Folder, Create Document, Clean up Name, & Change Desktop Background." Can you mention a command that I may write into "terminal" which I can open from the desktop? What terminal fix will "reconstitute" or reconfigure the panel with the icon repopulated? I'd sure appreciate your guidance.
