I do have k_deflt installed and also the Nvidia kernal. Everything else is not installed. I thus do not have a kernal issue and am using the same system as Brian (Athlon XP 1800 Soyo mother). Any other ideas? or is there something in apic/apm other than the lilo.conf I am missing? thanks On Tue, 2002-06-04 at 01:48, Max Webb wrote:
Brain maybe you should just use windows then so you will have nothing to wine about or find out what kernel package you have installed and if it is the SMP kernel. As far as the rest of your reply it is irrational and therefore i do not understand it. Both happend to me with SuSE 7.3 and 8.0 but I corrected the problem in both cases it is an apic/apm issue in the case of 7.3 when forced to use install in safe mode APM was disabled in 8 it is a kernel selection problem. The point is if you are not willing to get off your ass and fix it in SuSE 7.3 or 8 then dont whine about it. Just use a newbie OS like Windoze.

In my case, I did post that I am using SuSE 7.3 Pro. I found nothing with k_smp in YAST 2 either. My point wasn't to commandeer the thread, though getting the problem solved would be nice ;-) My point was simply that the problem exists in 7.3 and here we are and 8 does the same thing. Anyone looking for another reason not to upgrade?
Cheers,
Brian
