Hey folks, Was going to try 9.1/amd64 on this Lenovo box with E5500 I have here at $work. Unfortunately it panics immediately upon boot [1]. Seems it be ACPI-related, as disabling it allows the boot to proceed a little further but still panic [2]. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS booted and worked just fine on this box, yet I could not get anywhere with any memstick.img since 8.0. Any idea what's going on here? I've tried dumping DSDT and rebuilding it, did not help. Verbose bootlogs can be found here: [1] http://193.124.210.26/9.1-acpi.dmesg [2] http://193.124.210.26/9.1-noacpi.dmesg ./danfe

IMO, it's pointless to try.> Ubuntu 12.04 LTS booted and worked just fine on this box, yet I could > not get anywhere with any memstick.img since 8.0. Any idea what's going > on here?

This could have been fixed in more recent ACPICA imports. stable/9 seems have ACPICA from many months ago. -- Andriy Gapon

I guess that the machine does not support amd64 mode? -- Andriy Gapon
