Unfortunately this the only XMD64 hardware I have. I've just ordered a new LAN card (Intel) to replace the ancient Tulip based card. I should consider Video too. My concern is that old hardware may not perform correctly with faster processors. I know design specs say it should, but if the design is marginal, it may depend on CPU behavior that was typical with hardware 'back in the day', ;) > > > http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/tools/make-cd.sh Thank you. ./get-packages ??? > > Maybe compile your own 2.8.9 or even more recent kernel?

In varrious places I see 'apic=off' or 'noapic' and 'nolapic' as it is recommended in the Ubuntu boot help for Via chip sets. thanks, hank -- Beautiful Sunny Winfield
