Dear list, my laptop is a asus m2400n which (as far as I read) part of the M2N(NB) notebook series. Some time ago when I installed Opensuse 10.2 I had to update BIOS. It is now version 208 (from 2006/11/03). Old BIOS made Opensuse 10.2 install failing. Kernel even didn't start with acpi turned on. After loading kernel there was a immediate restart. I know that it wasn't the whole acpi but I didn't test every option because BIOS update made it. Now it's BIOS 208. I tried to install Opensuse 10.3. And what happend? Same story as with 10.2 install. Can't install it. The notebook restarts after kernel loading. After trying around I know now that I have to turn off local apic (kernel parameter lapic=off). 1) There isn't a new BIOS on asus website. So is there anybody who knows which apic parameters has exactly to be turned off?? 2) What do I need lapic for generally? Everthing works fine without it except irda. Thanks, Johannes P.S As far as I know the exact parameters I will put it to http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Laptops/Asus (By now there's only 10.1 Beta on it) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
