the pci2220i module is a known issue (i think), in any case it's not your problem. you could try to fix it first by disabling kswapd (man update-rc.d), since you say it freezes at that point. if the problem persists, you should probably file a bug report against the package with a high severity. i would make sure it's not just something simple first though. /ben -- |_ |_ | _ _ |_ PGP public key: http://www.wilykit.com/wilykit.key |_) . |_)|(_|(_ |\ "Never rub another man's rhubarb." -- Joker
