Hi Warner,

thanks for your hints! Windows is bootable and I'll sent the required 
information (hopefully!).

Hi Andy,

yes I'm sure, that they are compiled in the kernel. Error messages arrive, if I 
try to start e.g. pccardd or moused. I haven't changed the generic kernel at 
these points! But if helpful, I can send the kernel config file...

Hi John,

there appears another special problem of my wonderful OB 600 CT: Nobody knows, 
how to get into the BIOS (if possible) of that notebook. Any ideas for that? 
Standard buttons (DEL,ESC, CTRL F1, CTRL F2) don't work.

Thanks everybody,
Thomas
