I disabled acpi just in case that was causing a problem, the bios don't support it, but it made no difference. I added debug to the logging level of udev, which gave me a ton of messages, but they don't show up in dmesg, just the screen as its booting, how can I log these messages to a file? -- Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
