One other thing that will definitely help out is if you can run the following command and send the results back to the list: mptable -verbose -dmesg You can run this with a uniprocessor kernel. > options BOUNCE_BUFFERS #include support for DMA bounce buffers You don't need bounce buffers, you don't have any controllers that require it. > options UCONSOLE #Allow users to grab the console > options FAILSAFE #Be conservative I would remove failsafe as well. Also, what hardware are you running with? (motherboard, CPUs, memory, video cards, network cards, etc..) It's possible (yeah, I know this is a reach) that this could be a pcvt problem. Has anyone run PCVT with a SMP kernel? Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com
