Your problem is not the same, i. e., his ISO image won't fix the problem. When I installed my Ferrari 3400 with 5.3 CD-ROM, I had to disable ACPI completely as you said. When I upgraded it to 6-CURRENT, everything worked perfectly fine. ACPI is on, atpic is off, and mixed mode is off. :-) > My CPU turns out to be: > CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (1801.03-MHz K8-class CPU) > Origin = "AutheticAMD" Id = 0xf4a Stepping = 10 Okay, yours is CG revision, which should have fixed errta #93. > And you are right, the laptop is built around a VIA chipset. > > Current problems with the machine includes non-working USB (not > detecting new devices), non-working cardbus (complaining about Vcc > request).
