Hi Fred, Thanks for your answer. I've managed to solve the problem: - Changed the boot order in my bios to 1. HD 2. Floppy 3. CD-ROM For some reason my pc does not boot when cd-rom comes first (only when I inserted the Suse CD). I do have a boot floppy, and that's OK. But then I've to set the floppy as the 1st to boot in the Bios (which is strange ;) Anyway, I've installed the bios I found on the Fujitsu-Siemens website. But still the same. It's no longer a 'problem' since I boot my HD first. But my question remains: how can kde/suse (?) ruin my bios/boot process in a normal session? Or was the reason probably a hardware crash that had nothing to do with my OS? Thx Rik Op woensdag 29 december 2004 03:28, schreef Fred A. Miller:
I've encountered it with some ViA chipsets, yes. 'One reason I'm not fond of them. IF you can't resolve it, and if you have a floppy drive, trying making a boot floppy.
