Hi
I am trying to install CentOS 4.4 on an hp pavilion PC.
It wont install just boots in a circle, so I think I have to pass
acpi=no at boot stage.
Can anyone give me a detailed explanation how do this?
Thanks,

Not sure where you are in the install process ... if you haven't been
able to get the product installed at all ... when you boot off the ISO
type this:
linux noapic noacpi
------------------
If you have already done the install and this is happening on the first
boot up then do this:
At the grub screen (the blue screen that has a countdown), press the
"Enter key" and then select the kernel with the arrow keys ... then
press the "a" key to append.
add this text:
noapic noacpi
Why did you include noapic? Why no timer, or what timer is then used?
Then press enter and you should be able to boot.
------------------
Once you get booted up, you need to look at the file:
/boot/grub/grub.conf
and make sure any "kernel" lines have:
noacpi noapic
at the end if them.
