This did not seem to go through the first time.
Fixed this and thought I would report it here and in twiki.
HP ze4325us Athlon chip, Ali chipset, Radeon video. UNknown motherboard.
This machine installed 10.0 great. Under 10.1 installs and freezes on
reboot. I tried noapic noalpic noacpi nodma and none worked. What works is:
linux acpi=off
Once it boots add acpi=off to lilo.
After I got it working I did a clean install. I found out that if you scroll down when you get to the final setup screen there is an entry for boot. Unchecking the acpi enabled button, solves the problem.
Still cannot get a wireless card to work. It is recognized but does not seem to come on. I wi ask question after I have tried a few things but if anyone has any words of wisdom they will be welcome :-)
Does anyone know if having acpi of effects wireless?

Hi Pat,
I highly recommend that you recompile your Kernel 2.6.8.x and you'll be able to get acpi working. It's important to have it working so that your fan doesn't have to work so hard. You'll be able to turn down your clock speed to extend battery life. Which chipset is your wifi? I've used Ndiswrapper to get my wifi working on my ze4560us but it loses connectivity when I go beyond 10 feet. In windows its range is around 60 feet. I'm still trying to solve the instability of Ndiswrapper.
When compiling that kernel, say No to apic.
Good luck,
Sevatio
