You have to pass "noapci acpi=off" to the kernel at boot time with this motherboard. I don't think it is the KT-400, but the BIOS implementation on the Soyo board. Hit esc at the lilo menu and type linux noapic acpi=off all should be well. If this does work, add "noapic acpi=off" to the append line of your /etc/lilo.conf file and rerun lilo. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
