| 660681 | 2008-04-20 23:57:00 | Add acpi=force to your kernel boot string. | Erayd (23) | ||

| 660683 | 2008-04-21 00:20:00 | Distros I am trying to install: UBUNTU . iso UBUNTU for AMD64s UBUNTU LIVE CD MEPIS LIVE+ INST . KUBUNTU alt for i386 . iso PCLinus OS2007 . iso (this I KNOW works! . . but not here!) . . . and all I get is the "L" BSOD = Black Screen Of Death after I try the SAFE VID MODE or not . I tried the text start-up, live version and they are all going balck at a certain point . Windows 98SE just came off this unit so I know it's a working unit . . These have all at one time or another worked, although I am sure they aren't all gonna work here because of CPUs and such . . but ONE SHOULD WORK! . I am trying to get it into an old COMPAQ PRESARIO 4540 . . . and I KNOW it worked before in one of these . GACK! :confused: :waughh: :xmouth: |

| 660684 | 2008-04-21 00:22:00 | Add acpi=force to your kernel boot string. I typed it in, and I still get the LBSOD..all activity stops and even the HDD light goes out. |

| 660686 | 2008-04-21 01:17:00 | How much ram does this PC have? | Erayd (23) | ||
| 660687 | 2008-04-21 01:19:00 | ...don't really know..but it ran PCL b4...I have just taken this unit back and thought I'd dedicate it solely to "L-" things. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 660688 | 2008-04-21 01:57:00 | Try booting with 'noapic' and 'acpi=off'. Can you find out how much ram it has? | Erayd (23) | ||
| 660689 | 2008-04-21 03:40:00 | Try booting with 'noapic' and 'acpi=off'. Can you find out how much ram it has? I am installing 98SE again to find out how much RAM it has...and other system resources. Then back to the "L" word. |
