As far as remember, woody comes with kernel 2.4? Unfortunately, iirc the pb you encountered is a well known _smp_ kernel bug never fixed in 2.4 but well it 2.6 :-) > Is there another kernel I should try out?> First try to install a up kernel (for the A, L and N Class is must be a 64bit). Then you would be able to upgrade to sarge and install a 2.6 kernel (may be try first a up kernel then try the smp one) Or you could reinstall your system with a recent netinstall iso cd: Hth, Joel _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
