I had also reported and confirmed this bug earlier. This weekend, I built up a test system (Dual PIII-550 w/ Radeon 7000 video) I booted it with a Hardy Alpha 4 server(already on HDD), then used aptitude to install kubuntu-desktop. I was able to startx, and the KDE desktop came up fine. I th

Thanks for the feedback Antonio. I'm going to close this report for now due to your last comment. Also, just in case you're interested, the Hardy Heron Alpha series which was recently released contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha release

Ben, Thanks for your info on kernel performance. Still, it just behaves as a 386 running at 3Ghz. What about other issues like special instructions and the larger quantities of memory handling available in modern processors. My old 386 system had a 80 Mb hard drive, my current system has a lot m
