Hello All. I have a Dell Inspiron 5000e which is
dual booting Windows 2000 and RedHat 7.2. I have encountered frequent lockups
with my system when I boot into Linux. The screen will go black and
the system quits resonding. When I try to boot Linux, the text portion of the
process works fine all the way up to the point where it is about to enter the
GUI at that point it will sometimes lockup. It sometimes will happen three or
four times in a row and then after repeated reboots, I can finally get it to
boot. I also have this problem sometimes when I try to log off, shutdown/reboot
from Linux, enter Standy By, and switch virtual consoles via (CTRL + ALT + Fnc
key). Sometimes these actions work correctly and other times they cause the same
lockup (ie a black screen with no response from keyboard).
I have the most recent BIOS from Dell installed. I
believe I have all of the Advanced Power stuff disabled in the BIOS. I would
like some suggestions as to how I can prevent this? By the way...I encountered
the same problem with version 7.0 installed.
