Hi,

Last week i went to buy a new PC. I decided to get an acer aspire ASE700
which comes witch a Quad Intel 6600 Processor, 2 GB RAM and 500GB
Harddrive. It seemed to be a pretty good deal for the price they had
offered it. Anyways, after playing around with Windows Vista, I would have
liked to really use my system and install Suse 10.2 on it. Okay, i
downloaded the single CD to install from the net. booted from it - black
screen after LILO. Okay I thought, it maybe the CD. I downloaded all the
ISOs, burned em and now: The bootmanager comes up, when I
select "installation" and "Text Mode" it loads the kernel and gets stuck
on "ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)" I have no idea what this means
but above this it says: "your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings
ACPI: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs. ACPI: corrected configuration. ACPI: Interpreter enabled
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)"
Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work anymore Okay, Power-off, Power-on
This time I selected "Installation--ACPI Disabled" (and text mode) "loading
kernel" seems to be fine but it gets stuck on a screen saying:
"PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:02.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:03.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:1a.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:1c.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 0000:00:1c.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:01.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:02.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:03.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with 0000:00:1a.0
NET: Registered protocol family 2
Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work anymore Okay, Power-off, Power-on
This time I selected "Installation--Local APIC Disabled" (and text
mode) "loading kernel" seems to be finebut it gets stuck again, this time
the screen says:
"ACPI Interpreter enabled
ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)"
So i really don't know further. Does anyone know any of above messages? May
anyone help me to get it installed? It would so much be appreciated!
Thank you!

I also had a problem with ACPI.
The problem was likely the need for a bios upgrade to be compatible with linux. There was an incompatibility.
