Re: Problems at booting after installation or Dist-upgrade with SARGE at ACER-Notebook
Hi,
I have Acer 4102 and I experienced exactly
same problem with Debian 3.1. Somehow I could resolve it by recompiling
2.6.12 kernel with appropriate options. If I understood properly ur not
able to boot into ur system. The following is what I did and it works
for me (but there should be better ways of doing this)
1. Installed with linux26 acpi=off boot option. Installation went well, but did not boot.
2. Problem comes from hotplug...which is trying to load some non existing modules.
3. So I used knoppix (another wonder) to boot into my laptop and removed hotplug (temporarily).
a. fdisk -l to
know ur partition and mount it somewhere (may be on /mnt or where ever).
b. chroot into /mnt and use aptitiude or apt-get to remove hotplug.
4. Reboot and u should be able to boot.
5. Now first thing to doo..is to recompile 2.6.12 and then reinstall hotplug.
Thats it...
regards.

Hello,
I have a problem with my new notebook and Debian Version 3.1
Hardware:
ACER Extensa 4101WLMi_MCE
Pentium® M 730 Centrino
1024 MB PC2700 DDR-SDRAM
ATI® Mobility™ RADEON™ X700 128 MB
Soundchip onboard
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, 802.11 b/g
First, I have installed "Debian Sarge prerelease" from DVD with kernel
2.4
which is on that DVD. With kernel 2.6 I have had any problems with booting
the installer:
linux26 noapic nolapic - the install routine hangs up
linux26 noapic nolapic vga=771 agp=noagp - the installer begans and runs
until "floppy", then the monitor became red.
The same problems I have with the latest CD from June 2005, only following
will run correctly
linux26 apm=off acpi=off
Now I have made a dist-upgarde with the installed Version of "Debian Sarge
prerelease" kernel 2.4 over the Internet. After the first reboot I got the
same problems like I get also with the 2.4- and 2.6.-versions at the latest
CD.
First I saw at booting:
"PNPBIOS: fault attempting recovery
pnp dock_thread: unexpected status 0x28"
Also, I made a new installation with the following parameters:
boot: linux26 apm=off acpi=off pnpbios=off
Whether I used the 2.4 or the 2.6-kernel a part of the boot-messages looks
like here:

Now, can somebody explain me where is me problem and how I can resolve it?
I have thought to use the kernel
2.6.8-386, but I found no possibillity to
choice it at the installation and after that the system hangs up.
I hope you can help me and other people with the same problem
