Linux and Minipci card nonbooting situation
Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2007 10:11 pm
Hello everyone! I am hoping maybe someone could help me out with something here.
I just got this great A22P, which is working out really well. When it comes to getting Linux nice and happy, I'm running into a small issues. At first I tried to install Debian, but with the minipci ethernet card in (it's an Intel Combo one), it wouldn't get to the installation part. I took it out and it worked, but then things came up, I changed my mind, and I installed Arch Linux instead. Things are going along nicely, but I put the card back in to use in Windows (it works fine there) to experiment with sharing a connection with my nephew's computer. When I try and boot into Linux though, it stops during boot.
I'm unsure if there's a way to get a full log of what happens before it stops (any help with that would be great, too, it's an area I don't know much in the way of), but I jotted down what the last couple lines that come up before it stops are.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] enabled at IRQ 9
ACPI: PCI interrupt 000: 00: 03.1 [A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9
With the ACPI mention, I tried booting with that off, but it was the same thing.
If anyone has any thoughts about a way to either resolve this, or a workaround, that'd be really great. On the plus side, it isn't anything vital I'm having problems with, but having a corded connection option is potentially useful. Thanks!
