 Yes, it does. After cold boot, works fine. 
 This computers had been working fine with redhat 9 for some month,
now I have been upgrade to debian and have this problem...and the
curious is that this only occurs to this two IBM computers that have
same hardware configuration. Other computers works fine.
 I don't think its cooling because with redhat 9 system works fine,
could redhat 9 change cooling ?


 Maurice, is there any log/procediment  that  I could read/done to see
whats is failing ?


thanks,
Paulo
