We have an almost new Acer 5520-5679 in the office that we intended to
partition and install 8.0-CURRENT-200712-amd64 but much to my
surprise accessing the cdrom it went into an immediate, unreadable
loop of hex numbers that can only be stoped by powering down. I next
tried 7.0BETA-4 standard (no amd64) and I can get to the Welcome menu
but with all options end up with a BTX halted, almost immediately.
The machine specs are:
AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile TL-58 1.9 Ghz 2x512K Lw cache
2GB DDR2
160G HDD
Short update. I built a release locally with yesterdays sources
7.0-BETA4 with the same problem.
Has anyone else seen this with Turion 64x2 or is it an Acer thing. We
should learn that cheap is often expensive.
Thanks,
ed
