     Yes yes, but that does not solve the problem at hand.
     There are likely BIOS settings which can be used to solve it. A 
person at my place had this trouble with a new Dell box plus a minor 
brand X Linux distribution. BIOS tinkering did not help, much. 
Retreating to an earlier distribution did the trick. Thus nuances, 
particularly with today's hardware, are worth exploring and reporting to 
the group. It's part of our <volunteer> job description, to detect 
problems before the final customer does.
