Guest jmrich Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Everytime I boot into Mandrake 10OE, I have to disable APIC support from the "Power" > "ACPI" menu in my systems BIOS. I have an ASUS P4S800D-E Deluxe motherboard with one SATA device installed via SIS180 chipset. If I do not disable APIC support my boot will freeze right after "enabling swap partitions". When I get the system to boot properly I notice that the place that the sequence freezes has something to do with setting up RAID devices (I don't use RAID). Does anybody know what I can do to keep from having to go into the BIOS everytime I boot into Mandrake and disable APIC support. Windows will not boot with this disabled and it is a pain in the butt to do it everytime I switch. Also, I was looking to compile a kernel and was wanting to know if there is a general rule of what should be built into the kernel and what should be modular. I am very inexperienced with Linux and would appreciate any answers to my questions be in noob-glish. THX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 That is a pain. Unfortunately, I have also never successfully ran apci in Mandrake, although SuSE handled it just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodFlesh Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 have you tried to boot the kernel with the option "noacpi" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
