That gives me a Long Thingy about USB ..... Starts at address 30 , about every 4th one has:
Code:
usb 2-2.2.1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 34
input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:13.0-2.2.1
input: USB HID v1.10 Device [Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:13.0-2.2.1
usb 2-2.2.2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 35
input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB Trackball] on usb-0000:00:13.0-2.2.2
and ends with address 99 ... but No Boot codes.

It was Two of these: noapic noagp noapm , and I think the first two , I'll have to do Trial and error again.
It's a new MSI RS480M2-IL MoBo with an AMD 64 3200+ 939 socket , Dual channel ram ( 2 X 512 MB ) , and Does Folding just Fine !
I'm using the on board Video , running live from an old 48X CD Rom. I have a 4.2 GB HDD I'm going to try to install to , but that's for another day
( I did get Knoppix installed on my Celeron D w/ a 6 GB HD drive tho ! )

When I Do a lspci , I get

That's a whole lotta " Unknown device "
But it runs !

Would I be better off deactivating what I'm not going to use in the BIOS , sound , serial , parallel ,PS2 , firewire ... or just leave it Default ?

Thanks
