Gatt Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Just migrated our smoothwall box to a faster machine - an HP dc7700 However - in order for it to reboot I need to set the acpi=off flag on startup or it freezes with this message ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00) ACPI: Assume root bridge [_SB_.PCI0] bus is 0 where in the /etc/lilo.conf do i insert the acpi=off tag so that I dont need to visit the server each time it reboots?
tom_newton Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 log in as root. run "setup" chose "hardware options" HTH! 1
Gatt Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Didn't Work tried adding it to the append="...." line in /etc/lilo.conf - still no joy
tom_newton Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Gatt - sorry for brief response earlier - I was on the fone to DB.... you went into setup and picked "hardware options" and checked "disable ACPI"? that should work on next boot...
Gatt Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 @tom_newton - yeah did that - same problem @Geoff - updated to v1.15 - no joy Will take another look at it tomorrow... Got dentist to get to :-S
Geoff Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 This thread makes for interesting reading on the subject. IT Resource Center forums - the dc7700 just don't do linux
tom_newton Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Hmm, one of the posts suggests you need kernel >= 2.6.19 which would be a problem - we are on 2.6.16 and will be for the forseable future (we are naturally very conservative about kernel "upgrades").
Gatt Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 So basically - I'll need another server? or put up with having to be there each time it reboots and do tab -> Smoothwall-smb acpi=off each time?
tom_newton Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Gatt - if that fixes it, my fix *should* work - can you give support a call and we'll find out what the crack is. 1
Gatt Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah will call them first thing in the morning...
