Hi,
I've built a couple of LFS systems using previous versions of the livecd
and and they worked great. Thank you! However this time I'm trying to use
livecd X86 6.2-5 on a particular box and it's driving me crazy.
In the simplest case, I just insert the cd, reboot, choose a time zone
etc , hit return and wait in the first virtual console 10 minutes doing
nothing. Everything up to this point looks normal (to me at least) but after
the screen blanks due to inactivity, the machine is totally locked-up. It
does not respond to anything with the mouse or keyboard including
ctrl-alt-del and I have use the reset button.
These cds ( I burned two ) boot and recover from inactivity just fine on
several other computers around here.
The computer giving me problems has an Asustek A7N266-VM Rev1.xx mobo with
integrated Nvidia chips. It has Award Acpi Bios Rev 1007 (8/12/2003 , the
latest as far as I can tell). It currently triple boots SuSe 9.1, LFS 6.0
and Win98SE with no problems. I ran Memtest overnight again with no problems
detected.
I have tried options to turn off dpms, acpi, and apm. I have no idea what
to try next.
Thanks,
Jerry
