Hi trifonius,

I have been in "one way" contact with Asus for several months and it
ended up with this answer:
"Unfortunately, we cannot answear why this happens when you use other,
non-ASUS products, together with the eee BOX."

End of discussion. They really don't care about supporting customers!
So the only fix I have found for XP is to run "powercfg" every 3.
minute.

But for about a month ago I decided to do some research on the problem,
but where to start?

First at all I wanted to find out if it is a hardware design bug or a
software bug. A software bug may be fixed over time, but a hardware bug
will never be fixed unless I do it myself :-(

To check the hardware I fired up an Ubuntu live cd (USB), and from
there i installed the SC 7.3.2 and that worked like an charm, out of
the USB :-)
I got a little caught by my Linux success, so I ended up with an
installation of a Debian "lenny" which has now been running SC 7.3.2
since.

But I still don't understand why the Linux is running without any
problems and XP doesn't.

Regards,
Mads
