User Feedback :: Can't Start Issue with DSL both 1.5 and 2.0RC

Please ignore above.

Thanks will look it up.

The processor is a

Intel Pentium IV '630' 3.0GHz Boxed CPU - LGA775
2MB Cache - 800MHz -  HT - EIST - EM64T - XD

FYI

I downloaded the latest knoppix iso and my system almost booted.

For some reason it seems to hang when trying to broadcast for an ip address. could be a problem with my wireless card. (turning of HT didnt solve the issue, as turn HT off in DSL fixed the problem)

either way, knoppix booted heaps furthur into the system than DSL.

as I said before DSL didnt get very far at all.

MSI released a BIOS update on 2005-7-29

which states
Fix system restart issue when EM64T CPU assert SMI in WinXP

could this be the issue I'm having with DSL? ie. the kernal has a similar problem upon being loaded and thus restarts the machine?
