Yes official is official and CE is more like a Release candidate. So Official is better. Although, YMMV .. > thanks for your ideas, > Bill W. > > Bill, I had a similar problem with suspend/sleep mode that was related to "acpi" for the 2.6 kernels. For Mdk 9.2.1 and 2.4 kernels, I had to set lilo append to "nolapic" but for the 2.6 kernels and my nForce2. I had to use the "lapic" since it is enabled in these kernels. But it would still lock up until I installed a tmb kernel.. see my sig .. that fixed my nForce2 issues. It's still a test kernel, although it works for me. But we need more info ... what kernel are you using ? does your bios support acpi ? Have you tried "noacpi" or "nolapic" or "acpi=off" in your lilo append line ? Have you tried the newbie archive for this problem ? http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-newbie&r=1&w=2 or the expert list archive: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-expert&r=1&w=2 or even cooker .. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker&r=1&w=2 incase someone has already asked this and resolved it. And as always google is your friend .. "dell+lockup+mdk 10" or something like that ..
