Yes, the problem is known, but the solution is not. We've seen this problem go away many times with a BIOS upgrade, are you running the latest? There is also a workaround here to temporarily disable the APIC timer: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269 Perhaps you can update that bug report to say if the workaround helps your system or not. thanks, -Len ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562&alloc_id=6184&op=click
