While kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686-smp
now works just fine on
this machine, the original upgrade to
kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp
resulted in the boot freezing
after ACPI appeared to kick in. Turning acpi
off resolved this. This involved
adding acpi=off to the kernel line in the file
/boot/grub/menu.lst:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-686-smp root=/dev/hda1 ro acpi=off |
The option needs to be added to any 2.6 kernel (prior to about
2.6.10), but is not needed for 2.4 kernels. So add a new line for the
2.6 kernels and add in the new flag:
# kopt_2_6=root=/dev/hdd1 ro acpi=off # kopt=root=/dev/hdd1 ro |
