Ben / Fabio,

I have just rebuilt my dual Opteron system. This time, of course, Synaptic
pulled in linux-image-2.6.12-10-amd64-k8-smp, as opposed to the -9 version. I am
delighted to be able to advise you that the -10 release seems to have solved the
problem. One [tiny] observation to make...

During the boot process on my 4200X2 system the ubuntu logo screen would appear
and then beneath a horizontal progress bar I would see a list of the sevices
being installed. With the SMP boot on the Opteron system the ubuntu logo appears
briefly, then disappears, then I see the VGA text-mode status of components
being initialised and launched, much as I used to see when running Mandrake or
Mandriva. I am not sure if this is intentional or just an odd event. I will
report back if anything unusual happens at boot [and keep a check of
../var/log/messages for a few days, to make sure that all is OK.

Thanks for all your help!

Right ... time to go and install nVidia support next!

Regards,

Clive
