The motherboard I'm using in my VDR-PC is a Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 with 
an Amitrend 1.23 bios.  This board is also so old, that it still has 
even two ISA slots ;-) and it used to work rock solid since I bought 
it together with the two DVB cards in early 2001.  The board could 
be called outdated at the time I bought it, but at that time it seemed 
to be ideal for the purpose of building a PC dedicated to VDR.

Obviously the settings you mentioned are only present on newer boards.

But thanks for the hint nevertheless:  Especially since I mentioned, that
I switched away from SuSE to Debian on this box.  ;-)

Regards, Peter
