As I said on a previous post, I had to disable acpi in the BIOS of my Asus M2N-X Plus mobo to get anything to boot. Then to boot an install CD, more often than not had to add acpi=off to the kernel line. I don't remember having to do that for Fedora 8, or Fedora 9, and the installs went ok, but post install for Fedora 8, I had to add noapic nolapic to the kernel line, and for Fedora 9 acpi=off to the kernel line. I still am getting problems with all the distros that are installed on this machine locking up from time to time. The only exception seems to be Kubuntu Dapper, which uses a 2.6.15 kernel, mind you perhaps I havn't left that running long enough to lock up. At present I'm booted into Kubuntu HH 8.04, and not only have appended the kernel line with acpi=off, but also nosmp. It's all a bit trial and error, but I'll let it run for a couple of days. Normally it should freeze up before that, if it's going to do so. If adding nosmp, along with acpi=off results in no freeze ups on Kubuntu HH 8.04, and also the other distros on this machine, I'll post back. Problems, problems... always problems.
