energymedia Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Good afternoon folks. I am a complete newbie to linux and I believe I have done something wrong. I am running 9.2 on my laptop and noticed that I did not have any of the power management services installed and running. Therefore, I installed the APCI modules and rebooted. Now my system will not boot. Does anyone know of a way for me to fix this, short of re-installation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bvc Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I moved it. What laptop? Which bootloader? Do you know if the bootloader's config was modified and to what? (acpi=ht, acpi=on etc...) Did you install acpi and acpid?....AND disable apmd at boot (not always necessary). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energymedia Posted November 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Laptop is a Presario 2100 I installed the ACPI and ACPID. I do not know if the bootloader config was modified. Do not know about APMD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 You can try this to get it to boot. As soon as you see the lilo boot screen hit F1. That will take you to a boot prompt at which you should type "linux noapic acpi=off" w/o quotes and then hit the Enter key. I think that should overide whatever you did and we can work on setting things straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energymedia Posted November 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Thanks so much. It is much nicer working in Linux than it was in Windows. I am going to disable the ACPI services. I am trying to learn linux as much as I can while still working as a Windows consultant. As soon as I am up to speed on linux, I will get all my clients switched over as well.
