I installed Mandrake 8.2 using an XFS and ext3 partition and there was
no difference. I do know that I put an image from my maching on a 200MHz
PII and it uncompresses the kernel image in less than a second. This
pissed me off. I might look into the bios. I don't understand how the
acpi can kick in from the kernel if you haven't uncompressed the kernel.

Anyway, I'll keep going and tell you when I give up and accept my fate.

Duane.
