I have tried this as well. Running MSI K9N SLI Platinum motherboard with AMD 64 Dual Core Processor.
2.6.29 will boot with acpi=off. However please note that 2.6.28 would also boot in this way *sometimes*. For the past few weeks I have been booting with "nolapic" which is not ideal as I effectively lose half of my processor. (With acpi=off my pc won't shut down properly. It stops at system halted but is still on. With nolapic it shuts down properly.) But I will see if 2.6.29 boots consistently with the acpi=off option. 2.6.30 fails while trying to build the nvidia 180.44 so I haven't tried with this one yet. -- linux 2.6.28 doesn't boot for recent processors with XSCALE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343268 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
