English Install/Boot/Login

I have installed Opensuse 11.0 x86_64 on Samsung R510.
It boot normally only if acpi=off.
My configuration is :

Intel Core 2 Duo P7350
Chipset Intel PM45 + ICH9M
Ram 4Gb
Sk Video nVIDIA GeForce Go 9200M GS
Hd 320 GB (5400 rpm S-ATA)

Any Idea ?

Thanks

First thing would be to check if you are running the latest BIOS version?

What exactly happens if you don’t use the boot option - does the system hang, kernel error or something else?

I got the same error too. The loading hangs, well not exactly. In the loading screen it constantly displays the same message. I can’t read it because it prints too fast and I can’t find a log file where it writes it. Is there a generic acpi log file or will it be in the boot.log? Also I had couple of times that it will load with acpi=on but when I am working on the desktop the performace grinds down to a halt. according to the system monitor it takes up about 40% of CPU.

Without acpi=off, the boot sequence rerun from the Bios
welcome screen continuously.

There are a couple of boot switches you could try. Other than that others might have better suggestions.

Try ’ pci=noacpi ’ as boot option to see if your system boots. This switch leaves ACPI on for the system but disables it specifically for the PCI bus.

If you are both having issues on the same hardware it could be a good thing to open a bug report against this and try to get it fixed.

I am tried with

          acpi=strict end pci=noacpi

Without success

i have the same problem… nobody fixed it?

The solution is to boot with mem=4G

You will have only 3GB of memory accessible but everything else should work.

Hi, same laptop same problem and when I use mem=4G or i386 instead of amd64 acpi works but the ethernet controller (Marvell 88E8055 PCI-E) isn’t working anymore.

I’m sorry, but it is very difficult if not impossible to help when so many different users are posting one-liners inside of a single thread.

@francesco_1952 - Is there a problem running your system with acpi=off?

@Leshey-uk - I suggest you start your own thread; thanks. You indicate you get the “same error” - what error is that? In your thread, describe the problem in as much detail as you can, do the following from a terminal as root and include the url in your post:

dmesg > dmesg.txt
curl -F file=@dmesg.txt nopaste.com/a

@cas12 & @fiorefrank - Please start your own threads. Again, be as complete in your description as you can. Thank you.
