I also tried flashing the BIOS, but that was a complete disaster. I have a BioStar motherboard (M7NCD Pro), and when I flashed to the 1007 BIOS, I started getting segfaults during init, was unable to log in most times, and the machine was generally unusable. When I reflashed to the (old) 0630 BIOS, the above patch worked its magic. Incidentally, everyone should stay away from the 1007 BIOS for the M7NCD Pro. -Roberto --------------enig167B16ED25EC5FFD32B5A2B8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/1WMwTfhoonTOp2oRAp7TAJ9PLbrC1DqyHuLlekxOblEgNXWTmwCfQvtk s+v0Noeh8hoXAtrTWNHAdOE= =SVsM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig167B16ED25EC5FFD32B5A2B8--
