Well, flashing the BIOS did the trick for the powersaving. It works well now. btw: for those Linux-only users who need to flash the bios, this may come handy : http://www.ultimatebootcd.com For those without a floppy disk drive, you can make your own bootable CD and add some files to that : $mount ubcd.iso tmp/ -o loop $cp -R tmp/* bootdisk/ $cp -R filedir bootdisk/ $cd bootdisk/ $mkisofs -N -J -D -V "UBCD" -o /home/me/flashcd.iso -b boot/loader.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 . I saw some messages about long file names, but at least it booted and worked for me. I simply ignored the messages as I have no idea how to solve it. Regards, Marcel
