The kernel hangs in the installer right after detecting my storage devices (a CD-RW, a 120 GB drive with four partitions, and another 120 GB drive with one partition). A boot with verbose enabled gives me the output pasted below. All searches lead to this being an ACPI-related problem, and that I need to disable ACPI. I've tried the installer in regular, safe, and verbose mode. I've used the kernel loader to disable the ACPI parameters manually. I've turned off APIC in the BIOS and retried the above. All attempts leave me stuck at the same place. Any suggestions? -------------------------------------------------------------- ... acd0: CDRW drive at ata1 as master acd0: read 6875KB/s (8250KB/s) write 8250KB/s (8250KB/s), 2048 KB buffer, UDMA33 acd0: Reads: CDR, CDRW, CDDA stream, packet acd0: Writes: CDR, CDRW, test write, burnproof acd0: Audio: play, 255 volume levels acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray, unlocked acd0: Medium: CD-R 120mm data disc GEOM: new disk ad0 GEOM: new disk ad1 [0] f:00 typ:131 s(CHS):0/1/1 e(CHS):11/254/63 s:63 l:192717 [1] f:00 typ:130 s(CHS):12/0/1 e(CHS):260/254/63 s:192780 l:40000185 [2] f:00 typ:131 s(CHS):261/0/1 e(CHS):1023/254/63 s:4192965 l:87891615 [3] f:00 typ:7 s(CHS):1023/0/1 e(CHS):1023/254/63 s:92084580 l:142351965 GEOM: Configure ad0s1, start 32256 length 98671104 end 98703359 GEOM: Configure ad0s2, start 98703360 length 2048094720 end 2146798079 GEOM: Configure ad0s3, start 2146798080 length 45000506880 end 47147304959 GEOM: Configure ad0s4, start 47147304960 length 72884206080 end 120031511039 [0] f:00 typ:131 s(CHS):0/1/1 e(CHS):1023/254/63 s:63 l:241248042 [1] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 [2] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 [3] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 GEOM: Configure ad1s1, start 32256 length 123518997504 end 123519029759 -------------------------------------------------------------- It hangs here. When I press the power button with ACPI enabled, acpi: suspend request ignored (not ready yet) When ACPI is disabled, the machine simply powers off, which makes sense. -- Ian Langworth Project Guerrilla Northeastern University College of Computer and Information Science
