When booting from the CD you can type ram or puppy pfix=ram (one is a shortcut for the other). When booting from a GRUB bootloader, please add xforcevesa nomodeset to the kernel line. If and only if these fail, then add pci=noacpi or noapic or acpi=off or acpi=force, again with xforcevesa nomodeset, which is necessary to disable KMS for some video adapters in Xorg-xserver 1.7.7 and k2.6.33.2. xforcevesa does not actually force Vesa in Xorg, it basically tells KMS keep away!Béèm wrote:I tried LH 500C now on my Medion MD8818 desktop. Ram 1GB, processors 2 (1.6GHz each), HDD 320GB sata. Nvidia GeForce 7650
With pfix=ram I got messages do_IRQ: 0.107 No irq handler for vector (irq-1)
But where I should have got the screen to select the keyboard I got a black screen.
Only the big power off button was active.
I added acpi-of then.
If xforcevesa nomodeset is not enough and you do indeed need the acpi or apic kernel options, please google for more information as that is beyond my expertise, and none of my hardware needs it so I cannot experiment. You might also consider trying some BIOS settings, such as toggling the plug and play OS setting, if your BIOS setup has one.This time I got the keyb selection screen, but when I came to the X configuration and selected xorgwizard, I got a black screen again and had to hit the big power off button.
So again pfix=ram and acpi=off, but in X config did select the Nvidia entry and selected nv. I came to the desktop then.
I would like to know where this IRQ error comes from, forcing me to run with acpi=off. I prefer full functionality of acpi for standby/hibernating/proper power off etc....
Did you try my PET in response to your earlier post on this bug? I'm putting together a service pack for 5.00C which includes the fix.Htop indicates the two processors are active. Nice.
Needles to say, I have the same issue with accented characters in wine.
Hmm, not sure about that, could acpi=off be related? Or maybe a conflict between the audio and video drivers? Maybe this machine just isn't compatible with LHP 5.00C. There are so many combinations of hardware, software and kernel out there, it's hard to support all of them!Oh I almost forgot.
I have a strange problem with the 'hello' when coming to the desktop.
The sound repeats rapidly but in fractions. First the H then E etc... till after a while the sound stops.
The same at shutdown with the goodbye.
But a flv video or mp4 video play ok with sound.
However a video from youtube plays, but without sound.
