I installed the i586 kernel, disabled cpuspeed and rebooted the machine. No change. I am still getting the errors. The good news is the kernel panic only seems to occur randomly. Most of the time the machine hangs for a few minutes spews some errors and then continues to boot up normally. My question now becomes is how do I force an i586 installation? The installer detects and installs i686 including glibc and the kernel. I found one document that says to pass i586 at boot time but I am still getting the i686 kernel and glibc. I looked to google for advice but so far I cannot find anything that helps. If someone has a pointer to a good doc for this kind of thing I would appreciate a pointer. Of course any other suggestions on how to get this working, would be appreciated. Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl at rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123 at rogueind.com
