Hi Alan,

thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately it does not solve the problem:
As long as uhci (or USB per se) is not present, things do work.

But uhci/USB get confused and repeats the message (in my last mail)
endlessly i fcompbined with APIC mode.

Therefore it seems that APIC is working with my VIA board without USB.
But I cannot live without USB ... my mouse is USBish and X without a
mouse is a little ... hmmm senseless.

Any ideas else?

Keep Hacking!
