Re: debian sarge freeze computer

[Paulo Neves <igod.pt@gmail.com>]

Antony,

 I have RH until last friday, and then I format computer and install
debian (kernel 2.6), and now have this problem.
  I will try another chance to debian, but with kernel 2.4 ( because
redhat 9,have too kernel 2.4). I hope this resolve my problem.

Thanks again,
Paulo
