Hi everyone, I got a new Compaq nx6125 with a Turion ML-34 processor, and am eager to try out the Debian AMD64 port. However using the installer I only got as far as to the boot menu...the laptop just locked up. I tried Ubuntu Breeze Preview (can't remember exactly what it's called now) and it was the same. Has anyone any experience with Debian AMD64? Am I doing something wrong or stupid (again?) :( Thanks and have a nice day. Han
Hi Han, try to install with an option like this: expert26 nolapic(the main point in _nolapic_) . This disable the starting of the local APIC but i does not prevent the correct use of the ACPI subsystem.
Hope this helps, MC
