Yes, good idea. I don't have any idea as to why the problem occurs. Nobody else reported the problem so far. > any other suggestions? You may want to see if there could be a conflict with other drivers/devices, especially with those who use the ISA addressing space. I invite you to try a light kernel with as few drivers as possible, and see if the problem still occurs. Since I don't have much idea, the more information you can gather, the better, of course. Good luck. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
