Hi All, I have followed and implemented the postings of lockups on this distro and number 11 and still I suffer from some form of lockup. Running an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ with 2 gig of memory. 2 IDE hard drives, 1 IDE DVD-RW and 1 SATA DVD-RW. All this is on an ASUS M2V-MX motherboard. Running the Default Kernel 2.6.22.18-0.2. After Googling and reading the post here and still getting the lockups I thought maybe its something to do with the HPET which my other PC has in the bios and Vista won't run properly without it. I read on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPET that the Kernel of 2.6 also requires the HPET to be turned on in the bios. This motherboard does not have HPET. So I can not turn it on. Is anyone on the list running 10.3 or 11.0 without HPET turned on in the bios ? Is anyone running any of the above distros without HPET in the bios ? If so how are you getting around rtc-cmos which again is mentioned in the wikipedia page ? Would I be better running an older kernel that does not require the HPET ? -- Clive. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.rogers/ Fighting for darker skies.
