Larry Thanks. That was the kind of info that I was needing to update the bios. NJ was the best smp bios to use until well past QQ which was the last time that I considered updating but there were reported problems with QQ so I stuck with the NJ bios. I updated it last night and the problem kernel is now rock solid. Thanks again for the info, it was like dry land in waterworld.
