I use Ubuntu live and wanted to run the session with ACPI turned off So at boot-time using F6 I selected ACPI=off However, pstree -p shows, on line 2,: acpid(1817) So how do i really turn ACPI off?
(Opensuse 11.4, nvidia, core2) PROBLEM: cpu goes into C3 powersaving state even on full load (even when disabled from bios) (acpi=off prevents this). opensuse 11.4 kernel ignores boot option processor.max_cstate=2 (option has no effect). cpufreq util should be able to change governor policy to performance, however acpi-cpufreq driver doesn't load: modprobe acpi-cpufreq -> FATAL: error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib.../acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device
Having trouble rebooting a system. Have a Ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31-16 generic-pae) build on a VMWare installation. The system was fine until I rebooted after an update. Now I get the above message and the system halts loading. Have tried to Grub acpi=off and acpi=force to no avail.
When I run OpenSUSE from the Live CD using normal settings, booting stops with a blank screen a moment after the kernel is loaded. When running it with ACPI disabled, it works, but direct rendering is disabled, even though it detects my video card (Mobility Radeon HD 5650) correctly Here's the Xorg.0.log file: my xorg log - [URL]
Yesterday I thought I had solved my "Blank screen boot"-issue when I successfully got to the terminal login screen without the screen going black by booting with
Code: Linux acpi=off I spoke too soon. I found out shortly after that when trying to "startx" with acpi off gave me these errors: Code: WARNING: Error inserting i2c_algo_bit ("filepath"): No such device WARNING: Error inserting intel_agp ("filepath"): No such device
[Code]....
Then I read somewhere that booting with "i915.modeset=0" might work. So I removed acpi=off from lilo and added this, and sure enough, I got to terminal login, but I get the same errors with "startx".
I must make it clear that I can successfully perform startx when I boot without "acpi=off" or "i915.modeset=0", I am unable to see the screen but I can hear the KDE fanfare, etc.
I have tried both DVD and CD (both are MD5-checked) of both Lenny 5.0.8 and Squeeze RC on my HP DV7-3074CA. (a.k.a 3085DX)When I choose a graphic install, it just hangs after loading the initial files.When I choose the normal install, It gives the following error:
[1.383207] ACPI: EC: Input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction.
Is there a boot command I can input to override this? I tried removing the battery slot, but the only difference is that that message does not appear, but the setup hangs anyway.
UPDATING:Tried "pci=noacpi" but that did lead to a kernel panic.[1.547564] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I have random X freezes (suddenly keyboard and mouse stop to react). Xorg.O.log is error and warnings free. The only problems I see in syslog/ dmesg are related to ACPI.

I ahve also today upgraded my BIOS to 1303 version. Still no difference.
I am unable to boot my laptop in the usual way. The fedora emblem in the centre of the screen appears and starts to turn from white to dark blue in the usual way. When it is almost complete it stops.
In order to make the machine boot i hit escape and a message says leaving interactive startup mode. At this point the machine continues to start up.
When i do manage to get it to boot i get the following message repeated many times:
I should also add... The laptop will not close down, once i click switch off the screen turns blue and displays the fedora emblem in the centre. At the top right text says "Shutting Down" but at this point the system hangs.

The Motherboard is a Intel Desktop Board DH55TC, Sockel 1156, mATX, HDMI
After installation I boot a few times and used F15 on my Dell Inspiron 1564. But now I can't boot anymore. The screen just shows "unable to enumerate USB device on Port 4" and just hangs there with a blinking cursor below that line. I have no USB devices attached though.
I've installed Fedora 15 with Fedora 14 already installed in other partitions, but now I can't boot Fedora 14 as it prompts "no root device found", these are both grub.confQuote:
As soon as my ubuntu OS is booted, the cpu fan on my computer stops working, and wont start up again, I am using an acer aspire 5315, and and the most up to date version of ubuntu.
I just recently installed Ubuntu and my power supply cooling fan won't power down normally when I would run windows tho it would power down after the system was finished starting up. How can I remedy this?
I'm trying to move an existing FC10 install (created by someone else) from a 160GB WD1600AAJS SATA disk to a 160GB WD1600AAJB PATA disk (cursed trend of horizontally mounting SATA connectors at the end of the motherboard means the latest rev mobo doesn't fit in our enclosure!). I've used DD to copy the disk image from one to the other, but when attempting to boot, I get the following error:
Code:
Unable to access resume device (UUID=946f216f-0c24-4b02-a996-f42059970de7) mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: no such file or directory
That particular UUID maps to sda2, which is the swap partition. Interestingly, both the SATA and PATA disk come up as /dev/sda on the motherboard. I kind of grok that the UUIDs are substitutes for directly naming the disks, and that they're referred to in fstab, initrd-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686.img, and in /dev/disk/by-* I'm guessing the problem is that the GUIDs (at least the one for swap) are no longer the same. How are they assigned to the partitions during boot?
I tried doing
Code:
swapoff -a mkswap /dev/sda2 swapon -a
and put that new GUID in fstab and into initrd-* (using some steps I found elsewhere on how to gunzip/rezip it).At that point, I get a kernel panic on boot
Code:
Kernel panic - not syncing: CFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
So I'm guessing that the other UUUDs have changed as well and I need to update them. How would I figure out what they are? I suppose I could change the references to /dev/sda*, but I didn't build this original image and I'm thinking whoever did had a good reason to go with UUIDs.
I have FC6 system with kernel 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 When I rebooted my system, I got error message "unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-sda8) then it went to fsck automatically to all the partition and then stop (failed)
I have a Dell Vostro 1520 laptop and dual boot Windows 7 and Debian 7.8 64-bit. Windows 7 does use a lot of resources and the cooling fan kicks in almost all the time and it's a bit noisy. So I installed Debian which makes a big difference as it uses less resources so the fan is on less often.I just installed LXDE desktop to try to reduce this even further and I must say it is much better but fan still comes on even when laptop is quite cool so not sure why fan is kicking in so early.
Any best software to control when the fan comes on. If there are any good tools that are easy to install for someone who is quite new to linux? URL...
The cooling fan on my Toshiba Satellite m500 doesn't work after installation of ubuntu 9.10. I've looked on the internet but i can't seem to find anything.
I just compiled my first own kernel (I'm using Arch Linux), following the tutorial on the german site. Now I tried to boot it, I ended up failing with this message: Code: Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda1 ... Root device '/dev/sda1' doesn't exist, Attempting to create it. ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda1' Here is the important part of my menu.lst:
[Code]....
I simply copy&pasted the Arch-entry, i.e. I also had the disk by uuid there. The failure message was the same, just the root device name was the different name Also, at first I did not have the initrd line in my menu.lst (as written in my tutorial that I may not need it). In this case I had this error message:
I have installed Ubuntu via USB on a Dell Inspiron E1505 and I am unable to turn on the wireless card. I have a dual boot with Windows XP and I am able to turn on the card with keystroke Function/F2 and it works while in Windows. When I reboot in Ubuntu I am not able to use these keystrokes to turn on the card.
I just installed Fedora 12. When I boot, only the following three lines are printed: pnp 00:09: can't evaluate _CRS: 12298 ACPI: Expecting a [Reference] package element, found type 0 Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I first installed Fedora using a RAID 1 setup that mirrored each partition, so I thought the problem was coming from GRUB and confusion from what to boot off of. However, I reinstalled Fedora using a simple single drive setup (left the second drive without any partition), and the same error was returned. Is this an ACPI issue with this particular motherboard/BIOS? Any ideas for how I can fix this?
This link, acpi: thermal/sysfs-api, explains how the new thermal management sysfs class is built, but doesn't give much information about using it. Using watch, I can see that the cur_state of cooling_device2 changes from 0 to 5 when I check "Dim display when idle" in Power Management Preferences. But I haven't found an applet that changes cooling_device0 or cooling_device1.
Echoing different integers to the cur_state files limits the maximum cpu frequency for cpu0 and cpu1, respectively. This behaviour is expected from what I've read, and mimics the options in Windows power manager for extending battery life by throttling the CPUs. I've had no luck with google and local man pages, so has anybody has seen an applet for controlling /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device[0|1]/cur_state?
On a side note, a value of 1 does slow the CPU down, but it will still hit 100C (normal for an Intel mobile duo core). However, values of 2 and larger throttle enough to lower the maximum CPU temp. Since the CPU temp is a good indicator of power consumption, it's pretty obvious that these two cur_state files are intended to extend battery life. dd_wizard
I own an Acer Aspire 5552g. I have installed 2 systems on it: Windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10. Everything works fine except wifi. There is a lot of threads connected to this topic, but none has solved my problem yet. The problem occurs when I hibernate Windows and then load ubuntu - I get unable to turn wifi on. As rfkill says - it is hard blocked. It wouldn't be a problem if i had a hard switch for wifi. but I only have fn+F3 for that, which somehow fails to work in my situation.
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:~$ rfkill list 1: phy1: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes
If I reboot Windows and then start ubuntu - everything's fine and working. fn+F3 turns wifi on and off as expected. I will provide some more info: when wifi's working:
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1$ cat state
1 when it doesn't:
Code:
igor@igor-Aspire-5552G:/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1$ cat state
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L650-BT2N23 laptop (i3-core, 4GB RAM) and have Fedora 14 (kernel 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64) installed on it along with Windows7 64 bit. I am having a hard time getting linux o detect the battery, even when the laptop is running on battery power. The battery appears as not present and the power management applet always indicates that the laptop is running on AC. Setting acpi=on or acpi=force did not remedy the problem, neither did disabling acpi altogether (acpi=off). I have 'Insyde H2O BIOS' version 1.70, which appears to support acpi.
I'm running Karmic on an Acer Aspire AO751h and very aware of the issues regarding the GMA500 ans psb drivers, and after reading all the forums I've finally accomplished to make it work just fine. Last week it performed an update via the update manager and since then I haven't been able to restore/run any of the compiz settings and found out that the problem is that it doesn't let me turn on my visual effects under the appearance settings. When I attempt to set them as normal or extra, it starts "searching for available drivers" then the screen blinks several times, goes black, hides every window and just shows me my desktop background and then come back again and displays "Desktop effects could not be enabled". As I mentioned before, Compiz was running fine and I had no issues with the visual effects prior to the last update perfomed a week ago. Can you help me please?? If you need further information I'll be more than glad to provide them tou you, this is driving me nuts!
