The new kernel allowed me to remove "acpi=off" from the boot parameters, thus allowing acpi support and PCI routing to take place. It also resolved the incomplete shutdown problem. Obtained kernel from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/x86_64/HEAD/kernel-default.x86_64.rpm which as of yesterday is a 2.6.20_rc4... kernel.
So I went from 2.6.18 to 2.6.20 kernel. Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
