Hi,I'm trying to install XStreamOS Desktop on a Dell precision M4500. The DVD loads fine, the kernel starts, then hangs without ever going to the text install phase. I found an old post of someone trying to do the same still with OpenSolaris, back at that times, having the same problem, never finding a solution. Anybody running XStreamOS, OI, or another illumos based distro on this laptop? I'm sure there is something to be hacked on the bios... Also, I would install it on an external disk, without disrupting the original content of the laptop, so to be able to boot both original windows and/or the external XStream. Any help?
Add -B apix_enable=0,acpi-user-options=0x2 to the kernel line on grub boot (type e before the machine boots). If that helps, try without the acpi option. -- Dr.Udo Grabowski Inst.f.Meteorology a.Climate Research IMK-ASF-SAT http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/sat.php KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology http://www.kit.edu Postfach 3640,76021 Karlsruhe,Germany T:(+49)721 608-26026 F:-926026 ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
