wigimister Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have installed Mandrake 10.0 ce, and lilo now works, but after selecting linux, i just get a black screen. in failsafe, and the other modes, it locks up on the line ACPI: IRQ9 sci: level trigger in installation, i selected enable acpi. I would like to now disable this so i can boot without reinstalling. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 (edited) at lilo press Esc and type linux acpi=off and press Enter. That should disable it enough to boot and get to the mandrake control center>Boot and config the bootloader to not use acpi. You could also use a text editor to edit /etc/lilo.conf and change append= acpi=on to append= acpi=off then open a terminal su <press Enter> enter_root_password <press Enter> lilo -v <press Enter> There's a lot on the board about lilo and lilo.conf and in the FAQ as well. Let us know! Edited July 6, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
