You know, I went back into BIOS to reset the configuration and I noticed 
something:

There are some settings that I question. For instancs, there is a setting that 
says 
	PNP OS Installed: No
which, to my untrained eye says "Plug-n-Play Operating System Installed:"
IS debian a PNP OS? I think so, but I am untrained.
---
It was really cool when I switched the trigger on the next setting. The IRQ 
list disapeared. That switch is
	Resources Controlled By: Manual 
(the switch setting that turned it all off was 'auto') which to me is 
associated with that first setting.
---
Then there  is 
	Reset Configuration Data: Disabled
which I would think would reset the configuration settings each time you 
restarted the computer if enabled. But that does not really make any sense. 
Which configuration is it reset to. Someone must know what it does. 
---
Another is 
	CPU to PCI Write Buffer: Enabled
say what?
---
The final setting which I question is
	PCI Master Broken Timer: Disabled
Well seeing as:
         * Users typically
         * do this to work around broken PCI chipsets that get
         * the parity timing wrong and thus generate lots of spurious
         * errors. (from a previous message that I sent)
Perhaps this setting fixes the data parity timing problem.

Please advise.
