Debian Installation - Compaq Presario V2310


I am trying to install Debian on a Compaq Presario V2310. After choosing a kernel type (I have tried all the kernels), the screen shows text for about a second, then goes blank. It stops accessing the cd and the computer does nothing.

If anyone knows why/how to fix this, I would appreciate it.

see if you can pass the "acpi=off" and "noacpi" options to the kernel. it might help.

If this is happening AFTER you have completed the install and it is occurring when X is loading you might need to add:
Code:
Option  "noaccel"
To your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (provided you are using xorg)

Is this happening after you have completed the install and X is loading for the first time?

I have instructions for configuring this laptop at http://www.iit.edu/~kbloom1/Main/Com...esario_v2310us

After you get past the initial configuration tricks, it works quite well.
