- I have the same computer. I like linux on a notebook. I solved the
- "NMI received" problems by looking through the source code for linux
- and commenting out the code that prints that message. I left in the
- routine itself since I didn't know from how many places it might be
- called, I just commented out it doing anything. If you leave it nothing
- bad should happen, its just irritating to see every time the hard disk
- self parks or you plug in the power supply.
