I had this problem too (I also have the gateway). The problem seemed to go away when I truned off the primary cache. I can't explain it. Furthermore, yesterday I turned it back on (with a patched kernel) and had no problems. Give it a try. BTW, if you know any way of changing the cmos config w/o booting dos, let me know via Email. mark linder@ee.cornell.edu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Linderman | Cornell University linder@ee.cornell.edu | Department of Electrical Engineering ----------------------------------------------------------------------
