In any case, if the kernel dies in the early ACPI table parsing code you'd never get any console output -- so Willy may be right. Let me know if the system boots with "acpi=off", but does not boot without. thanks, -Len On Tue, 2004-02-03 at 18:13, Willy Tarreau wrote: > Hi Dick, > > On Mon, Feb 02, 2004 at 11:06:50AM -0500, Richard B.
