|
|
I just installed a fresh 2007.0 amd64 via the minimal install CD onto a new HP tx1000z tablet laptop. After a while in the terminal, the computer eventually freezes (never seen this before in linux ). The screen does not go black, and when it freezes during an emerge --sync (I haven't even gotten THAT far yet), the _ still blinks. That being said, I've lost all input (can't switch terminals) and I can't ping it anymore.
What logs should I post?
Any help will be appreciated.

I found a recommendation from a pre-existing thread on the ubuntu forums regarding the tx1030ea with similar problems:
Quote: | i'd had this problem as well..
i kept rebooting it and let it do the scan..
there was this time it completed and everything was smooth after that..
apparently, this only happens for the 64bits distro..
32bit didnt have this problem
do add this line into your grub settings
click escape before it boots..
edit the line which have the "uuid=xxxxxx" text..
append to the same line with these codes " noapic vga=0x317"
it should get it up to the gfx login screen. |
I added vga=0x317 to my grub line, and I now receive no visual display post-grub--just a lovely black screen. The good news is, with ssh enabled, I can successfully preform any commands I wish without it locking up.
Its nice to have it not freeze, but I am eventually going to need to USE this computer (it's a laptop, not a server). Please help. |

I fixed the issue by adding acpi=off and noacpi to my grub.conf file
Old /boot/grub/grub.conf
Code: | default 0
timeout 3
title=Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 |
New /boot/grub/grub.conf
Code: | default 0
timeout 3
title=Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 acpi=off noacpi |
I imagine acpi is mildly important. Anybody know another way to fix this while keeping acpi support? |
