General :: Unable To Start X When Booting With Acpi=off Or Modeset=0
Jun 30, 2011
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'm running Ubuntu Server 11.04 on a home PC as a local-only file and web server for some private projects.After a few minutes Ubuntu will stop responding to the network and a cold reboot is required to re-enable the NIC.I've been able to stop the above occurring with a user logged in and constantly pinging the gateway, although this is obviously undesirable.
I read here and elsewhere that a fix is to set acpi=off in grub. I have done this but now instead Ubuntu will not boot and shows the message:
do_IRQ: 1.55 No irq handle for vector (irq -1)
Disabling IRQ #34
and hangs there indefinitely. The system will boot fine if I revert the changes but obviously the sleep problem remains.The BIOS does not have an option to disable ACPI, just select S1 or S3.Is there anything else I should be looking for in order to disable sleep? Otherwise the system is working fine, and when it's awake I haven't had any other trouble.

After upgrading to Lucid said adapter is nonfunctional - NetworkManager won't start on booting (I'm using 2870sta module) and it finds no networks - neither does WICD. The device itself is identified: "lsusb" gives a line "Bus 001 Device 005: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology Corp." "iwconfig" gives nothing under lo and eth0 and this under wlan0:
Code:
RTxx70 Wireless ESSID:""
Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412GHz
Link Quality=10/100 Signal level:0 dbBm Noise level:-143 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
And a "lsmod | grep -e rt2 -e rt3" gives:
Code:
rt2870sta 525366 0
(Note: I had a similar problem going from Jaunty to Karmic, but blacklisting rt2800usb in my blacklist.conf fixed it. No such luck this time.)Using a Zonet ZEW2500P.x86-64 Lucid.

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]

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'm an experienced Linux developer who has run into a little problem. I'm using a National Instruments 8170 chassis, among the normal ports, it has a FDD and USB port but this model does not allow booting from a USB CDROM ( I tried a BIOS update, that didn't help either ). I made this cool customized 550MB FC8 LiveCD wtih X, GCC, various apps, etc. and a kernel 2.6.30 & 2.6.18 boot floppy disk with all the needed drivers. The floppy boots to a shell with all the busybox utils, etc. and detects the USB CDROM media and all its files.
My Question is: How do I get the kernel and initrd on the Live CD to start or boot after booting from the Floppy disk ?, I mean, I want to load linux again but this time from the CD after booting linux from floppy, if that makes sense. I'm just using the floppy to boot and recognize the USB CDROM. This can be done with MSDOS and loadlin but loadlin has an issue(it hangs) with the newer kernels (2.6.18 and greater). I searched for the loadlin source code to port it to linux but was unable to find it on the net.

I haven't been able to use linux for like 6 months I've tried Fedora 14, Debian Testing, Ubuntu 10.04 and now Mint KDE.
Whenever I boot any distro my laptop acts randombly, it gets to GDM and it freezes, or it lets me login and then freezes or works really slow, even through the shell.
The only thing I could figured is to insert acpi=off on the boot commands googling around, and there it boots.
My problem is that it gets overheated, I can't use any porcessor policy and I can't suspend my laptop with that boot line.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-GS6000 it had windows7 on it when I bought it new. Needless to say windows just ran too slow. The only Ubuntu distro that would boot up was Karmic 9.10. I had to append the phrase acpi=off to get the live ISO to boot I had to type acpi=off after the word splash. I saw it would boot so I installed it as the only OS on this computer.
Now when I boot up I am hitting the power button once and the back on again to get to the grub. I hit the E key use my arrows down to the word splash type acpi=off. Then hit CTRL X to boot up. How do I put this permanently into Grub2.

I'm basically a linux noobie, and have a problem with one of my machines I use for work. As the title states I am unable to start my xserver, using the startx command I have been using for the past 5 years. It goes to the blue loading screen with the x for a cursor, hangs there for about a min or so then goes back to the command screen. I get an error:
giving up.
xinit: Permission denied (errno 13): unable to connect to xserver
waiting for xserver to shut down
xinit: Server error.
I have tried logging on as root and trying startx again. Same error.

Bios is a good recommendation but will that affect the fan speed? I know about the acpi=off option, this does not work properly- even on suse. Maybe noapic would work better? Really is there a cover all command line instruction (for all distros) to turn the annoying thing off? Main problem occurs when watching the telly and the screensaver kicks in, with suze it turns the sound off as well, even after you have re-entered the password
