With or without acpi/apic/WITNESS does not make any difference. With or without CPUTYPE=athlon-xp either. Note, when I installed this system (at a co-worker) one year ago, I *had* to fix "AGP Aperture size" to 64M in the BIOS, otherwise the netboot failed. I just think about this, I did not test this weekend whether current -Stable (sic) works OK when changing this value. Thanx for your time, hope this helps to find a solution. I can bake a current kernel on another box and ask my coworker to test it. Regards, Arno
