When I booted from the CD, I got the usual display and pressed ENTER for default installation. After a screen or so of display, the machine stopped, with the last few lines: ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: using IOAPIC for interrupt routing ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000.00) ACPI: assume root bridge [\_SP_.PCI0] bus is 0 The machine would not respond to control-alt-del, control-C, or ESC. I could only turn it off by unplugging it! I tried to follow a suggestion from the debian-user mailing list, typing install pci=noacpi instead of just pressing ENTER. The machine ground to a halt again, with the last few lines: ACPI: bus type pci registered ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: using PIC ... PnP: PNP ACPI: found 17 devices PnPBIOS: Disabled by ACPI PNP PCI: Probing PCI hardware ACPI: Assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0] bus is 0.
