------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-23-09 11:10 ------- Ok, would you mind trying to boot with acpi=on when you have some time?? All I need to know is wether the boot process goes past the hardware detection or not.

On such machines harddrake always crashes during boot and if harddrake is disabled, the user cannot log on. The fix that was proposed is to remove the lines concerning the parallel port in /etc/modules.devfs. This allows to log in. However, the harddrake service still fails (and hangs the computer). I have tested this on two machines (laptop with no floppy and desktop computer with LS-120). On these machines, neither lspcidrake, not cat /pro/pci hang the computer (with the fix above). Emmanuel
