Trying to do too many things at once... I set some aside some time, got my xen versions all sorted out, and did a little testing. It looks like this fixes the problem for my server in the 2.0.6 and 2.0-testing (not sure if there is any difference between the the two at this point but I thought in couldn't hurt to test). However, unstable from last nights tar ball still hangs although it to take a little longer to do so. Let me know if there is anything else I can test. Thanks you, and sorry for the earlier ACPI "crazy talk". :) David On 7/13/05, Keir Fraser wrote: >=20 > On 13 Jul 2005, at 20:13, David H wrote: >=20 > > I have some supermicro systems with the same chipset/problem as the > > 1850/2850.
