I'm running a laptop and I usually don't have problems using acpi on debian based distros... But for some reason, Slackware based distros hate my computer.
Now, what I'd usually do is use acpi=off to boot my computer, but it's certainly a bother not being able to keep track of my battery power and being unable to fully shut down / suspend / etc.
So, any suggestions as to what I could do besides use acpi=off? I'm rather stumped...
I have the same problem. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro, and I'm running slackware 12. I'd like to try with solution proposed by elliott678, but as a totally absolutely newbie as I am, What must I edit in that file?, Sorry for this silly question...
Linux - Toshiba Laptop Boot Hangup in Slackware Solved !!!
Hi guys,
I've tried with elliott678 solution, and it works for me. Thanks a lot. I just edited my /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file, removing "port 0x800-0x80f" of "include" line, reboot and great!!!, none hangup.
Same problem with Slackware 12 and Toshiba Satellite
I've the same problem. Removing "port 0x800-0x80f" in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file don't works in Slackware 12. Then I'm using append="acpi=off noapic" in /etc/lilo.conf.
Some suggestion to resolve this problem?
