------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-23-09 11:01 ------- Well Emmanüel, AFAIK removing the acpi=ht means enabling acpi, that's what I've tried. My current setting is acpi=ht, which is working fine. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Hello, Following bug 4945 and 5877 and thanks to the help of ricksafe.casablanca, it appears that Mandrake Linux does not load on machines with no parellel port when acpi=on. On such machines harddrake always crashes during boot and if harddrake is disabled, the user cannot log on. The fix that was proposed is to remove the lines concerning the parallel port in /etc/modules.devfs. This allows to log in. However, the harddrake service still fails (and hangs the computer). I have tested this on two machines (laptop with no floppy and desktop computer with LS-120). On these machines, neither lspcidrake, not cat /pro/pci hang the computer (with the fix above). Emmanuel
