You could look for an updated BIOS, or you could try reverting to use the old-fashioned PIC-style interrupt controller with the noapic kernel parameter. You would do that by adding the word "noapic" (without quotes, surrounded by spaces) into the appropriate "kernel" lines in /boot/grub/grub.conf, or by editing this line in the grub startup menu. Incidentally, are you running in 32 or 64 bit mode? Do you have a dual-core processor? Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | Remember, half-measures can be very effective if @westexe.demon.co.uk | all you deal with are half-wits.
