Thank you. Verry fast reply btw :=)

Another thing i have been wondering about is ACPI. 
If i try to use ACPI instead of MPBIOS i get something like "can´t find table:" twice.

My guess is that my mainboard doesn´t support acpi fully or simular. But anyhow..is there a way to fix this or is it hopeless ?
