Sounds like you have a wierd motherboard. I have found that ATI based Athlon boards (MSI 7093) don't work with Knoppix, those machines needed Suse 10 in order to get a young enough a kernel to work (2.6.13). I got double speed clock and ETH0 was very slow; I noted that ETH0 was sharing interupts with everything else (/proc/interupts). It would seem to be a hard to read ACPI table in the BIOS. Maybe you have the same problem. -- Simon Dales, Software Consultant "The impossible is easy" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
