Hi,
Recently i upgraded my box with yum. This time even the kernel was upgraded. Till date I have had no problems with such upgrades, because the upgrades were almost never 'noticable' the box used to just run fine.
However, this time the kernel was upgraded to 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686, and thats when the problem started.
At startup it gives a message that ACPI is not configured, and get stuck at that point.
For a few times, a reboot at that point simply worked, but the problem still remains.

Now i have booted in the previous kernel, and that boot went without a hitch.

Am i missing something?
All the help will be appreciated.

that is just Advanced Configuration & Power Interface
i don't suppose you are on an acer laptop ?
or a laptop ,any brand??
have you configured the power manager
most likely a kmod is not built yet wait a few days and it should show up

cleaning the yum cache might help
--------
yum clean all
yum makecache

Hi thanks for the reply.
Actually I have a Intel Core2 Duo Desktop with 2GB RAM. So I thought that ACPI should not matter.

ACPI in desktops affects things like thermal management (cooling), suspend to RAM (if you do that sort of thing) and a host of other issues. If you're not concerned about configuring those options, you should be able to boot with acpi=off as a kernel parameter and avoid the lockup.

Hi,
thanks a lot, it helped.
