It aint perfect, (jumps stations sometimes, wont work with standard totem - needs XINE) but its pretty good, but have no idea of USA standards etc. > going to have a techie look at the board tomorrow (well, today) and see > if he sees anything shorting out, bent pins or something. > > Felmon

Look at /proc/interrupts to see what devices are on what interrupts, and the interrupt setup type. Try booting with noapic, also search for 'linux' + your motherboard intel chipset + 'apic'

I didn't see anything that looked like a conflict. perhaps I am overlooking it. > Try booting with noapic, I may have done this in the wrong way as I am not familiar with grub2. dmesg shows that 'noapic' is entered as a kernel option but there is still a line saying 'enabling APIC mode'. I will have to fool with this some more. the kernel is 2.6.32-5-686 (Debian Sid/Squeeze). > also search for 'linux' + your motherboard intel chipset + 'apic' nothing specific relating to the Intel DP43BFL. but the apic hint gives me another lead to chase down.
