Bug#276780: Fwd: Re: Bug#276780: Installation report
Hi again..
Here is what I have done:
1. Installed the base system using woody netinst CD imagen and 2.4
kernel (bf24 vga=771).
2. Removed Lilo and installed grub instead.
3. Ugraded (dist-upgrade) to sarge.
4. Installed ssh (for testing against hangs -- as suggested).
5. Installed 3 additional 2.6 kernels (2.6.8-1-386, 2.6.8-1-686, 2.6.8-686-smp)
6. Tried to boot each one of them with different boot options.
and here is what I found out:
1. Kernel 2.4 boots nicely without additional options (only vga=771).
2. Other 3 kernels boot nicely with the additional option (acpi=off).
3. Without acpi=off option, 2.6 kernels boot but keyboard is not
working (ssh connects fine and system responses to it).
So, effictively I can use kernel 2.6 but without acpi. Now what
exactly am I losing for not having acpi? and is this acceptable in a
laptop?
What do you suggest I do??
Thanks again!!
PS. sorry for keeping the old messages in the previous email.
