I have a X60 (1707-CTO / 1707YAU) that won't boot Linux (it segfaults while booting either a 32- or 64-bit kernel/distribution) at all, with ACPI enabled. Starting the Windows 7 installer or booting FreeBSD/FreeBSD's installer doesn't cause any trouble. Booting Linux with acpi=off would be a workaround; unfortunately I don't have an Ultrabase X6 so resolving the problem is somewhat difficult at the moment. > > Sven. > > > -- > coreboot mailing list: [email protected] > http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
