All,
I have a Toshiba 5005-S504 laptop (a wonderful legacy-free box that's I've cussed to no end) that I'm trying to get DP1 to boot on so I can cvsup and take a look (and hopefully contribute something). I was able to install, but after installation the system soft hangs after displaying a message about CPU power states (sorry, going off memory for now). I'm able to break to the debugger, so what information from dbg would be helpful at this point? Also, I'm pretty sure it's acpi that's causing the problem, so would someone point me to the syntax for disabling a module preload?
Thanks, Rob
I was tracking down a similar hang and had to disable acpi (turns out I'm an idiot and the apparent hang at boot was because I forgot console was redirected to the serial port of the machine next to it), but I had to jump through hoops to do it it seems. I believe all you have to do is 'unset acpi_load' at the boot loader prompt. I had tried 'set acpi_load=NO', and finally 'unset module_path' to keep the kernel from finding /boot/kernel/acpi.ko.
Hope this helps, Anthony Jenkins
Yes, the machine boots. Now I need to get acpi working on it so I can use something besides the kb and nic.
