ACPI Problems
I guess, at this point, I am not entirely sure where to begin. I am
looking for guidance with ACPI.
I am currently running FC2 with kernel 2.6.5-1.358 and cannot go past
it on either FC3 or, apparently, anything else. I have tried updating
the kernel on FC2 to 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 and have to disable ACPI to get it
to boot. I have also tried running the live CD of Knoppix v3.6 adn
v3.7 and have to disable ACPI to get it to boot. I have not yet
attempted "sarge" because I am not at a point where I can blow away my
box. My goal, however, is to be running Debian (I'm somewhat sick of
the Fedora pace.)
My machine:
Toshiba 5005-S507 (Laptop)
512MB / 40GB / DVD-CDRW
Linksys WPC54G PCMCIA NIC
At this point, I am not sure where to go next. Should I check for
certain errors somewhere? Is there some way to find out what my
current kernel is loading? I've read about ACPI and compiling
kernels, but I do not think I'm ready for that yet. If I were to
start downloading source, or compiling kernels, I am not sure what I
would be doing.
So, in short, could someone please start me off in the right direction
to figure out exactly what the problem is so I am not guessing
entirely?
Thanx,
Ryan
