SuSE 8.1 under generic, acpi enabled kernel
Hello all!
I am running SuSE 8.1 kernel 2.4.19-4GB on a Compaq presario 724 EA. I want to compile a generic kernel so I can use win4lin on my computer. I have tried 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 with the acpi patches from sourceforge.net and the win4lin patches. The kernel compiles fine but will not boot correctly. The system hangs at the message: " PCI: Using pci configuration 1" After this it should start the acpi (at least that is what happens when I boot with the SuSE kernel). The kernel does boot when I enter "acpi=off" as a boot parameter so the acpi seems to be the problem. I have no idea why though and I dunno how to solve this. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks!

I'm using slackware now but just in case someone may find this helpful:
the trick to this is to have APIC (yesAPIC and not acpi) disabled in your kernel. This is not in the SuSE 8.1 kernel by default so when you compile a custom kernel you have to make sure you answer NO there (in processor features). I remember seeing this on a website somewhere but I can't remember where. It was a good tip anyway! HC |
