[SOLVED] Boot - ACPI issue on Dell Inspiron 2650
Posted: Thu 11 Feb 2010, 16:16
Hi everybody,
First of all, thanks a lot for the great job. Puppy is so fast, it's amazing! After testing the regular Puppy Linux, I've chosen to full-install the puplet Browser Linux 360 (based on Puppy Linux 4.3.1 / kernel 2.6.30.5 with Firefox 3.6.0) since I'm using my laptop for Internet/streaming/online work only. I love it!
My issue is that Puppy doesn't boot; after GRUB, the computer stucks at the first step ("Starting up..."). I've tested other Linux distros in the past (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Fedora, TinyMe, Slax, Tiny Core, Sabayon), and from what I remember, the problem pertains to the ACPI layer. I looked up on the Forum and tried different things. I am a newbie so most of these might not be related to my problem at all (I gave it a try when the issue looked similar ):
- noapic
- nolapic
- modprobe apm in the rc.local file
- nopcmcia
- acpi=force
- acpi=strict
None of them worked. I used "debug" to get more details, and here is what I get:
several
system 00:04: ioport range ... has been reserved
two
system 00:04: iomem range ... has been reserved
then
pci 0000:00:01.0: PCI bridge, secondary bus 0000:01
pci 0000:00:01.0: IO window: disabled

pci 0000:00:1e.0: MEM window: ...
pci 0000:00:1e.0: PREFETCH window: ...
pci 0000:00:1e.0: setting latency timer to 64
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 0
and it's stuck there. When using acpi=off, it boots fine but I must manually switch off the computer (shutdown process finishes at "System halted", then I need to press the switch button).
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 2650:
Pentium IV 1.8GHz, 512 Mo RAM, nVidia Geforce 2GO (32 Mo dedicated), 16 Go hard drive.
The hard drive has two partitions: Puppy on ext4, and swap (about 256Mo). Puppy is the only OS on the laptop.
Thanks in advance!
