From: gilberto on 12 Jul 2007 10:51 Hi, I've installed Mandriva 2007 spring on a notebook HP with AMD Turion 64 CPU. I can't boot, the boot procedure stops when the time is set. What is bizarre is that sometimes it works and sometimes not. Since I've installed Mandriva, I tried to boot (runlevel 5) about 100 times and the boot procedure stopped about 80 times. This problem occurs when I want to boot in single user too (runlevel 1) I observe also that the hardware time (into the BIOS) is changed, It is related ? Can anyone help me ?, I feel very desperate

I tried to switch off the acpi service, but it didn't solve the problem. Sometimes the boot procedure stopped when the time is set.

Is there any Bios setting that would prevent or allow the boot process to gain access to the clock?

As another suggestion, what about trying to boot with a Knoppix CD/DVD ? |
