I wouldn't say that. I've been running dev kernels, including the current config of 2.5.44, for some time, both on Woody and Gentoo without problems. > On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) > the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control > processor access to memory ranges.

I booted the 2.2.19 kernel installed during installation with the same results. Logging on as root works fine, so it would seem like some kind of permission related problem - my only user suddenly lacks some kind of permissions. Since I havent modified any systempermissions I find that a bit odd...? What I did howerver, was to remove kdm... Using "update-rc -f kdm remove" and then killing kdm. Maybe that backfired somehow?
