Model No: PPL LATITUDE CP M233ST I am using 3.1 Release. I was able to solve the reboot problem by disabling that parallel port stuff, which I did not want to do. I think I removed ppsbus or something like that. I need to have the reboot as I am using this for a special task at work. However I see strange behavior under heavy loads. If I run a program that uses little memory but lots of CPU cycles everything gets very slow. The mouse cursor in X is about 2 seconds slow. Also the 'top' command does not show loads correctly, everything is reported as 0.0%. The preceding two problems to not show up in the GENERIC kernel, what would I have changed that would cause this to happen?
