I note that you don't have parallel port and PC style printer configed. One thing you can try is to remove ACPI support. Poweroff functions/hardware are frequently a cause of problems. Also, you might want to remove Frame Buffer support, especially flaky with nvidia. Experiment with one thing at the time, and observe the results. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
