Well it's a bit far fetched to suspect the setup code, but I have another i440 that suspends-to-ram when booted over pxe without any problems. And, booting the i810 through dos-lilo also hangs STR, so that's why assumed it may be a setup code thing. > There is a git tree on git.kernel.org you can pull, which is current > against 2.6.22. How can I pull a tar-ball from that without using a git client? Thanks! -- Al
