Okay, I'm now randomly booting into v9.0 of Mandrake (about 1 out of every 5
attempted bootups are successful - the rest lockup so hard that the keys are
the keyboard won't work). Same thing with shutting down - sometimes it does,
sometimes it don't.
I've got about 5 entries in /etc/lilo.conf, using different kernels, with
different combinations of "noapic" and "noacpi".
Okay, it used to be a given that plug 'n play was turned off in BIOS. Is that
still true?
I have APIC turned off in BIOS - should it be off or on? Really, does it make
a difference? I'm asking because according to dmesg - whether its turned off
or on, I always get the same message:
Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling.
Found and enabled local APIC!
Anyone have any idea if I d/le'd and installed a newer cooker kernel if it
might help? Or maybe if I recompiled what I've got and left ACPI out for
good?
Thanks (from a very frustrated 9.0 wannabe user)
