I'll try the boot parameters... noapictimer

Be careful with acpi and apic :-)

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
parameter: noacpi or acpi=off

APIC Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller.
parameter: noapic or acpi=off

The timer is speeding because of interrupt problems, so parameter is
noapictimer


Thanks, Rajko,,,,,, I'm laughing my silly nubee head off... 'cus I've
been thinking I can't spell and I can't read too good either...

Actually, it's true... so why am I laughing.... :-(
I guess knowing one is a nubee and *suspecting* one is a dummie is more
frustrating than finding out for sure? Has anyone ever said, "Humble pie
taste bitter, but it is food for the soul"? If not, you can quote me.

O.K., I've tried no_timer_check on the boot command line, and no change
in the fast clock

I've tried "noapictimer" on the boot command line, and no change in the
fast clock...

Now I'm off to see about two things
a) find out what I can about a bios flash for this system
(that has to be done in windoz)
b) repair the dummie at the kybd problem....

somehow I suspect a) may be easier than b)
:-)

Whatever, I want to thank you,
Rajko, Unruh, Paul J Gans, Will Honea and Birre,
who responded to this nubees plight...

may you never see the error message
"insert boot disk and press any key"

Please do not apologize. We have ALL had strange problems
at one time or anothere. I still can't get a truly stable
10.2 installation although what I've got is "good enough".

And in my career I've had many strange disasters. I had a
computer a while back on which I could NEVER get the sound
working, even if I put on my witch doctor suit and danced
around it.

This newsgroup exists so that we can help each other.
