Marvin,
you know that I am not able to change almost anything in my Acer TM290 Bios
Panel
Infrared Ports (!)
LPT Ports
Enable or disable Legacy USB
Boot device
LCD auto DIM
Passwords
and....
Exit
Thank you,
Daniel
1) Within the boot up BIOS, change from a Windows to a non-PNP/Other
Operating System type.
Instructions for accessing BIOS are at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within: Additional
Resourcces.
2a) Add an option "pci=routeirq" to the kernel boot up line.
