Re: Kernel with acpi hangs on compaq presario 1700

[Heiko Ettelbrueck <hbruckynews-hi6Y0CQ0nG0@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Jaap,

if you don't want to use ACPI because of its IRQ routing, you could 
simply try adding "pci=noacpi" at the boot prompt (or into lilo.conf / 
grub's menu.lst) for your acpi kernel and try once again. I have a 
Compaq Evo N160 and had the same problem (hang during boot) before I 
tried the above kernel option.

I also got the advice to disable "Local APIC" and "SMP Support" in the 
kernel configuration, but this didn't help in my case. Perhaps it will 
in your one?

Regards,
Heiko
