Urgency: HIGH (low, Middle, HIGH) Size: 14.8MB (14,805,335 bytes) md5sum: 03ec527ef9dde9b8e9b04d4951c1629a After updating from 4.015 or earlier to 4.017, a new kernel (2.4.22) is used for enhanced hardware features and drivers. This new kernel has new ACPI/APIC handling and may conflict with faulty ACPI BIOS implementations. By default we did not change any ACPI/APIC settings, which resulted in full ACPI/APIC support for users having started with a 4.000 and APIC support (without ACPI) for users having started with a 4.008 ISO installation. In case you encounter a problem with 4.017 Up2Date when booting up the system (NICs/controllers not recognized/working), please try the following: On the LILO boot prompt, type: “default noapic” Boot up and check your system In case this did not help, type: “default noapic acpi=off” Boot up and check your system Add the needed parameters to the append line in /emergency/boot/etc/lilo.conf Call: “lilo -r /emergency/boot” We republished the Up2Date 4.017, making sure everybody has both parameters in his configuration file for compatibility reasons
