hi,

i´ve running with linux debian sarge kernel 2.6.8-2
on startup, my linux freeze because of a acpi prob..

The last message is: ACPI: subsystem version 2004...
then the system hangs..

In BIOS i can change acpi to on and off, the result is the same...freeze on startup

Anybody an idea?

How have I to use the "acpi=off"....

In menu.lst:

title Linux kernel .........
.
.
.
boot acpi=off ???

Or is this wrong?

You have to put

Code:

acpi=off

in /boot/grub/menu.lst at the end of the line where your kernel is mentioned.
ie

Code:

kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=791 acpi=off
