Which linux distro are you using? Please, specify if the distro is for 32 or 64bit arch. ( I didn't manage to find this info posted. ) When first posting in this thread it was 32 bit Ubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy Gibbon"), later upgraded to 32bit Ubuntu 8.4 ("Hardy Heron"). "uname -a...

Seems to be a common problem: (Try "oolite intel 945" on Google)
