Hi again Per,

The pci=noacpi make my system start, but the bcm43xx modules fails and the nvidia-glx modules still complains about edge triggerint. pci=routeirq didn't help here either. Have you tried the "noapic" option (not the "pci=noacpi"). This seems to be the best solution for me.

I use the bcm43xx modulate together with the bcm43xx-fwcutter ubuntu package for my wireless card. My computer then recognizes the wireless card and finds networks. But I still cant connect to any of them, but his is necessarily not a driver problem.

Don't you have problems with the ehci_hcd module? When I load it the CPU fans goes high, and I can see from the output from "top" that the processor is doing someting heavy.
