------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-09 13:40 ------- some bioses (if not most) are buggy. quite a lot wrongly fill (when they bore to create them) acpi tables. this is why "acpi=off" is needed for some machines. kernel acpi implementation get more & more workaround for firmware vendors bugs but "acpi=off" will still be needed on some boxes for some time. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: When I boot a system with acpi=on, the system hangs during the boot sequence on "checking for new hardware".
