(This may be very obvious but I haven't seen it around and couldn't find it after Googling so here it is.)When booting DSL 2.2b on my Sony PCG-FX101, the kernel would not proceed after the line: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. (Although there was some CDROM access after this.) When trying the failsafe boot, the machine stopped similarly after the line: ACPI: IR9 SCI: Level Trigger All I had to do to fix this was to add "acpi=off" after the boot option. :7) Posted by roberts on April 04 2006,15:44
