Kyle, The options you mention do not help. Still no boot. :-(
Here are the details. While adding the options to the boot sequence (F6 on the CD start-up menu), I also removed quiet and splash. I could see a lot of boot messages scrolling by, but I could also see the end tail of it when the boot process aborted. Here is what I got: 1. acpi=off udevd event: run-program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal ----> part A <3> usb 3-2: device not accepting address 2, error -71 | usb 7-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 |----> part B usb 7-2: configuration #1 chosen from choice | BusyBox v1.1.3 Buil-in shell (ash) | /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off |-----> part C Oinitramfs): | 2. acpi-off irqpoll Same as above except no part B 3. irqpoll Same as 2. I have a webcam (Logitech 5000 Pro) plugged into a USB port all the time. I unplugged it and re-did the threee tests. For test #1 (acpi=off) the message in part B changed. I did not copy the whole thing (but I could easily do it if you need it) but it looked like this: <3> irq 18: nobody cared (try booting with "irqpoll" option) [ 2.469080][<c0153f54>] __report_bad_irq+0x24/0x80 ... 10 more lines similar to this one =================== [ 2.46870][<f8883ee0>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x80 [usbcore]) Disabling IRQ #18 Results of test #2 and #3 were the same as above. Hope this helps, Andy PS I know that you guys are busy, but could you explain to me why I can boot 6.10 fine? I know that 6.10 uses 2.6.17 and 7.04 - 2.6.20 but what is the real reason? It is not a big deal but I would like to understand, if possible, how something that worked in the older kernel stopped working in the newer and better(?) one.

If it does, and you're able to boot, can you please attach a copy of the "dmesg" from Feisty to this bug report? Thanks!
