Hi all, Firstly sorry for the cross post but it seemed equaly appropriate for both lists. I'm rather idley trying to get 5.2.1+ to work on my toshiba portege A100. So far no joy, 5.x will not boot. I have tried the various boot menu options (with and without ACPI), but 5.2.1 and the latest -CURRENT snapshot I could could find on the snapshot server both freeze at pci0, ACPI enabled says, pci0: <acpi PCI bus> on pcib0 non ACPI says pci0: <pci bus on pcib0>. I'll write down and retype the entire output if it'll help. 4.x (-STABLE at the mo but 4.9 and 4.10 as well) works fine with or without ACPI (with just a few problems with the synaptics touchpad, such as it not working on a warm reboot.) However I would be happpy with 4.x if it were not for the fact that the built in wireless is not supported, so i'd like to try 5.x for Project Evil. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, either of anything i could try to get 5.x booting or else any useful I could send to the -CURRENT list, as sadly I have no useful programming skills to try and fix it myself. Vince
