Just to edify all I was getting constant "calcru: negative...." messages and I isolated it to ACPI. To remedy this I put an entry in the device.hints file to disable ACPI. Now to edify me; Is this a good aproach? Any issues by not having ACPI loaded? Thank you all and to all a good night! Dean. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!

I have found it most useful to leave it disabled, I dont think I am losing anything valuable. All the best -- Martin Smith
