What exactly is that doing? During the boot message the only thing I saw which may explain what was going on was ACPI:EC:GPI Storm detected, disabling EC GPE My wifi connection accepted configuring (WPA+PSK) and works. Sound was disabled, but appeared to accept enabling. Just one mixer channel was shown. Attempting to play a sound om Dragon Player resulted in KDE-Im-Connection-Lost - and silence. Fonts in dolphin are very "dotty" Anything else you'd like to to try? Anne Any
