Back in the day, this was a VERY common problem. The first place I would look is with the computer vendor to see if there is a newer BIOS (you might be surprised). Next, maybe there are some specific work around available: https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+panic+on+reboot+ACPI I imagine one of the solutions will be to disable ACPI completely which will work but you might loose some power saving benefits (unlikely on such an old machine) and also the inability to actually turn OFF the machine with a "shutdown -h now" command. --David KI6ZHD On 08/08/2013 02:23 PM, Demetre SV1UY wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a problem here.
