It sounds like the kernel doesn't like something in you're hardware. I'm at a loss as to what to suggest on that. The address below has some BIOS settings suggestions. Maybe it doesn't like something in your BIOS settings. Other than that, i just don't have any ideas. http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/ch-preparing.en.html#s3.3 I put the Debian list on the cc line in hopes someone there will know more. Sorry I don't know more, Patrick
