We did the BIOS update and no luck. Linux is still unbootable on that particular system. Basically the best we can get it (using the edd=off param and SATA set to keep enabled (either in native or legacy mode)) is an initial good boot, and good subsequent reboots. As long as we leave it in Linux, and never boot back to Windows, Linux works fine. But even after a single boot back to Windows, Linux becomes totally unbootable regardless of BIOS settings and kernel parameters.... safe mode is out as well. It just sits there with a black screen immediately after the Grub menu. I think the conclusion is... we're going to try to find another motherboard and dump this one. I can't see any other way around it (unless someone else has a brainwave on how to get this working). It's a good excuse to upgrade the hardware :-) Thanks for the help C. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
