Post #51,217 by admin 9/10/02 11:56:17 AM Reply	Amusingly... SuSE installed flawlessly and runs great on this dual P4 here -- 3D hardware acceleration and everything. Every OS has its problems with hardware detect -- they're just different with every incarnation. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #51,242 by deSitter 9/10/02 2:42:04 PM Reply	Re: Amusingly... I think it's something to do with SpeedStep (this is a mobile P4) but can't say for certain. Everything else works fine, other than the winmodem. This is not the usual kind of attackable hardware problem. There are no errors to report - nice happy boot, but when you get there, no keyboard as often as not. You can still telnet in and shut it down, but that's obviously no solution. -drl

Post #51,261 by kmself 9/10/02 4:14:48 PM Reply	Speedstep Disable it in the BIOS. I had same on a PIII, it was being triggered by a flakey power supply (physical attachment was a solder joint to the mobo, which is a different gripe). Repeated, short-cycle toggling of speedstep status would lock the box hard. Speedstep's a mistake. Turn it off. -- Karsten M.

Post #51,264 by deSitter 9/10/02 4:21:23 PM Reply	Re: Speedstep I did everything possible in BIOS including turning off all power management of any kind (not that you can wield a laptop in that state in any case). I'm still shocked to encounter something as basic as a keyboard problem at this late stage. There is some hope in that this is a very new machine and the BIOS could get updated. I'm not entirely giving up on it. Just really really peeved. -drl
