hi, the ACPI can be turned off in the boot process by hitting <e> at the grub boot screen, then down arrow, then <e> again, then changing acpi=no-idle to acpi=off. hit ENTER then <b> to boot.
to make it permanent, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and make the same acpi change. what happens when you try to log in as a normal user? to remove grub from the MBR, you can sys c: from a dos floppy. this will replace it with the dos bootloader. thanks! joe A-who wrote: > RL-Users, > > I am having an issue booting build 40.
