Re: Bug#292888: Installation story on Acer TravelMate 4000WLMi notebook
If I understand the answer (http://www.archivum.info/debian-boot%
40lists.debian.org/2005-02/msg00379.html) to that bug report correctly,
the bug has been closed, recommending to boot with the option "expert"?
I guess I got the same problem and I can't even boot from CD in expert
mode. I got an ACER Travelmate 4002LMi. Trying to install sarge I get to
the boot prompt. Trying to boot I either get a grey screen (with kernel
2.4) or the process hangs at
ACPI:IRQ9 SCI: Edge set to level Trigger
(when using kernel 2.6). Also the options acpi=off, nodma, noapic
nolapic don't make a difference. Also typing "expert" makes the process
hang at the mentioned line.
I both tried to boot with the sarge netinstaller rc2 and a three weeks
old CD 1 of the sarge CD-set. The results are the same.
By the way: kanotix does boot when using the "acpi off, dma off"-mode.
