This is just another rant about sp2. I still can not
install. Fails after reboot. From info on this newgroup it
seems to be the Prescott cpu. Are any of you holding out
on a fix? I'm shocked there is no hotfix for this yet. I
use wireless 802.11 to connect to the net. I NEED sp2, the
default wireless tools on XP are driving me nutts. Please
someone come up with a fix for me.

Microsoft told me to call my hardware mfg. After calling
them was told its a MS problem. Thanks for the run around.

Disable the L1/L2 cache in the BIOS and reboot. Once in Windows (yes, I
know performance willbe terrible) uninstall SP2.

After uninstall, reenable L1/L2.

Look for a BIOS update at Shuttle's website. There are quite a few of us
affected (including one of my own PCs). In the meantime it's a hurry up and
wait scenario. I'm sure someone's working on it somewhere - at least I hope
so!
 
Search the group, Its not just shuttle that is doing this.
Seems to be all Intel Prescott users.
