Thanks again for figuring this out!

Press the DEL key as the Classmate is booting up (I pressed multiple times not knowing the exact time needed to press it). Please post if this solution works for you...I'm very curious if this issue is limited to a small group or if it is widespread.
While I do not get any watchdog errors during TeleOp enabled mode, I am still seeing one system watchdog error when going from Autonomous Enable to Disabled, and one going from TeleOp Enabled to disabled.

I'm also able to see some correlation between power savings modes, lag, and other DS issues.

I couldn't see info to send a private message to get to a higher bandwidth phone call or such. Please PM me so that I can understand completely what you've already tested and your results.

While it may not be conclusive proof that the Intel SpeedStep BIOS setting was our issue of lost communication with our robot in multiple rounds at the preseason Suffield CT Scrimmage, we have competed 7 rounds today at the Hartford Regional with zero communcations issues (we have the Intel SpeedStep and C-State options in the Classmate BIOS disabled).
