My friend had to disable ACPI via the option acpi=3Doff We had to do this because the USB storage devices were hanging the kernel= during the boot process which again seemed to be related to BIOS. In= otherwords if we had "usb storage devices" the kernel thinks they are= bootable devices (even though they have no actual media in them) and the= result is a HANG. For some reason disabling ACPI via the above mentioned= argument worked around the problem. the question is. If / Once we "disable" acpi via the "acpi=3Doff" option is= there a way to re-enable it at a later point ? He wants/likes ACPI but we= don't know how to re-enable once we have disabled this. Also should we try= to fix the crux of this.. I mean is it related to DSDT issues? thanks.. and sorry for my english I speak american as my native language :) mikel ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
