Hello Paul, try pci=noacpi as kernel boot parameter, it works for me on my hp compaq nx8220. If it fails furthermore try acpi=off but you lost many features with that. Interestingly Ubuntu 5.10 runs without any changes. Mario. Am Dienstag, 1. November 2005 18:11 schrieb Paul Hewlett:
Finally decided to try SuSE 10.0 - got DVD and installed on my server and did a network install to a test PC (HP Vectra - P3 - 866MHz - 384M RAM).
Install on this PC was spectacularly successful. Performance is very snappy and donloading of patches much faster - impressive.
So I decided to try it on my HP Compaq nx9110 laptop (512M RAM - P4 - 3200 MHz). The install started OK but when doing the first reboot the PC apparently died. I rebooted in failsafe mode and continued the installation in text mode - my monitor was shown as 'unknown'. Rebooted - same story - black screen - no apparent activity. Booted failsafe mode - works but the kdm login screen takes a loooong time to come up. Attempted to login but the screen went completely crazy - lots of lines and scrambled video. Switched off in hurry. Booted in failsafe mode and edited boot/grub/menu.lst and changed vga=0x317 to vga=normal for normal boot option. Rebooted - now I get lots of text as for a normal boot process - usual stuff - however when I get to ACPI the boot process freezes - the message is
ACPI version 20050408
I have now reverted to 9.3 (9.2 also ran on this laptop successfully).
How do I determine the version of 10.0 on the DVD ?
Any suggestions ?
Anybody else using a nx9110 ?
Thanx for any help u can give me ...
Regards Paul
