Hi Lan- You can append the literal string pci=noacpi noapic at the end of the 'kernel' line in the default boot "stanza" (or any such block, or a new block copied from some existing one), so that it says something like kernel /vmlinuz-XXX ro root=/dev/hda5 pci=noacpi noapic You can also insert such parameters in a one-shot fashion at boot time, by typing 'e' (for edit) when you see the grub prompt, and then use arrow-keys to highlight the kernel line and type 'e' again to get into line-editing mode. Append the parms to the end of the kernel line, and then hit the ENTER key then finally press 'b' to boot (I think I've it right, I'm not doing it as I write <heh>) ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
