(Annoyance) kernel message mars install
The initial install goes well enough, but upon reboot, my screen is blasted
with the following:
PnPBIOS: pnp_dock_thread: invalid function number passed
This is only slightly annoying as I can switch terminals and do a `dmesg -n
3`,
but for someone trying to install for the first time, they can nolonger see
ther base-config screens.
Below are the kernel boot messages up to the point of the first PnPBIOS
message.
If there are any suggestions or any more information is needed, please let
me
know.
Here's the beginning of syslog:
