1)This is not a support list, please use a more appropriate list, such as newbie, cooker, or the alt.os.linux.mandrake newsgroup, where you will actually find people who run 9.1, or a web-based forum such as http://www.mandrakeusers.org 2)If you have any eth0* device, it is likely not an apic issue (AFAIK), but it would help if you actually posted exactly what you have tried relating to enabling/disabling apic/acpi 3)If you don't succeed by running drakconnect in expert mode, and unchecking the "enable network hotplugging" checkbox, you will want to supply more information for (1). This will include things like: a)the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 b)The output of 'ifstatus -v eth0' c)The output of 'cat /proc/cmdline' Regards, Buchan -- |----------------Registered Linux User #182071-----------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x121 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7 ****************************************************************** Please click on http://www.cae.co.za/disclaimer.htm to read our e-mail disclaimer or send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a copy. ******************************************************************
