Does it boot properly if you disable ACPI ?
Try passing "acpi=off" to the kernel at boot time. |

No, what he means is that in grub.conf (or at the grub prompt) you have to add "acpi=off" on the kernel line, just like you do "root=/dev/hda4" (or whatever).

When you boot the computer, at the LILO menu press <ctrl><c> to get a boot: prompt, then type the name of your kernel followed by the options that you want to add.
| Code: | | boot : linux acpi=off |
