Re: Problems booting Debian 3.1 on Acer 4100
I had the same problem on my laptop. What you have to do is
reboot off the net install cd, then let it detect your hard
drive. Then you need to mount your system just like it normally
is under /mnt. Then do "chroot /mnt" without the quotes.
Then run aptitude and remove hotplug and discover, and any libraries
not needed (press SHIFT-M on the libs section of the installed
part.) and that should let you boot. Note, do not install
these tools back, they never seem to work on laptops running debian.

Are you using the 2.6 or 2.4 kernel? Make sure you try to run a 2.6
kernel on newer hardware. You might also try the "noapic" and
"pci=biosirq" boot parameters.
If you have really recent hardware, you might have better luck
running a newer kernel than 2.6.8, which is already almost a year
old.
