Let's first try 32 bit on that system of yours. I hope it's > something simple/subtle that I can reproduce locally. Unfortunately booting from the 32 bit 8.2-R i386 system froze when loading the ath driver. Same as the 64 bit system. The new system (apart from a new motherboard, CPU and architecture :)) also has more than 4GB RAM installed. I guess in theory the 32 bit kernel should take that out of the equation. Is there any other debug information I can help with, or is this looking more like an intractable low-level PCI/BIOS/Firmware interface issue? Kind regards, Geoff -- ___________________________________ >From the desk of Geoff Roberts Implementation Partner AUSTRALIAN PROJECTS PTY LIMITED S A F E K N O W L E D G E IT Security - Data Protection Email: support@apro.com.au NATIONAL HELP DESK SUPPORT Sydney 02 4231 4222 Melbourne 03 9017 8222 Adelaide 08 6461 6222 Perth 08 8463 1222 Brisbane 07 3137 1555 Hobart 03 6281 2555 Canberra 02 6112 8855 ___________________________________
