Joerg, Over on the cooker list. Thomas has stated and given links to a bunch of kernel patches Some of them specifically aimed at your mobo. (the thread title is: NEW INSTALL IMAGES FOR MDK 9.1 ) He said he should have a new kernel on the cooker by Sunday to address this and a number of other HW issues. If you can't wait he provided links to the patches. If you can. He should have the kernel out soon and I'm sure he would appreciate constructive feedback. (btw the thread title is in all caps that's not my editing.) James
