I forgot to say that these are the 2008.0 CDs According to http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=115247&sid=66a1d601c816f27aba8e8b092a7da4f6, you may want to try booting with acpi=off There's a ton of options that you can use. Aside from being available via the help (which I'm trying to fix) you can also just read the README.txt on the CD. Some options that you might want to try: acpi=off noapic nolapic You could even try nosmp to see if it is something SMP-related in the kernel.

(In reply to comment #3) Thank you Chris Turns out I wasn't using the "b" command in grub correctly. apci=off gets me through the freeze. O'course I now have a finding the CD problem but but I'll do my honework & search the forms instead of placing a report. Thanks for all your great work! I think we can safely call this INVALID since it's not technically a problem with our media, and it can be gotten around with the standard kernel commandling parameters. |
