I don't know if this is a possible issue, but it could be, for the second time today I get a message on my computer that says your computer must reboot, hold down the power button.... could this be an issue?

yeah, it happened again last night, I left it on because I was downloading something in azureus and I woke up this morning and same "need to restart issue". Did you install one of the ToH kernels when installing the os?

I had this happened couples times everyday. It usually happenes when I'm downloading files in Firefox or Transmission. I installed 9.2.0 toh. There's also one time when I drag a file to trash. Any idea how to solve this problem?

Would I be correct in thinking you are all using the nforce lan?

Or i could try the computer with the NIC turned off in bios.

Yes I use the nforce lan. I'm new in this and still learning and looking for information. Can anyone please point out what is the problem with nforce lab?

I gave up eventually on nforce lan, although it has greatly improved I still occasionally had issues I'd go for realtek 8169.
Thats what I did, the only card I could find gauranteed to work with osx £7 ebay

Is this problem (the whole system freezes with a message says you must manually power off the computer and reboot) the same as the "Lan-Freeze issue" mentioned in http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues ??

I suppose the first solution using the cpus=1 option is for dual-core cpus? My AMD cpu has only one core. I don't know if this would help or not. Will give it a try.

The second solution as lanxxx said is not to use the onboard nforce lan port. I guess I can get a stand alone ethernet card (Marvell Yukon or realtek 8169) and give this a try, or according to other posts I can find, just use wireless.
