I've fiddled with my PCI card placement and removed a modem I wasn't using, so USB is now on a different interrupt. But I can't get ACPI off the same interrupt as the bt878 is using, no matter how hard I try (short of disabling it). I use a USB keyboard and mouse so USB isn't going away. Stability has improved a bit (which isn't saying much). I have IRQs to spare, so I'll disable ACPI and see what happens. I'm surprised that this could be an ACPI issue, but in hindsight, not shocked - I've encountered random reboots way back when on this machine that might have been ACPI-related, though I never tracked it down before they went away. > Gerd -- Rich Tollerton <rtollert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
