hi thank you all for the responses. sounds like i need to try older 2.6 kernel... hopefully can do this with apt-get because i dont want to reinstall OS. BSD is an OS i am scared of :) but have been wanting to try it again so perhaps will take the plunge again and try NetBSD if i cannot get some stability out of Linux....
