> As of r36568 it still will not boot with acpi... also not that with
console logging it ALWAYS crashes or locks up whereas with logging turned
off and acpi turned off I can boot to the desktop.
Please don't use the on-screen debug output. It is mostly a legacy option
that only in rare cases has any use at all. It definitely has the side
effect of screwing up timing sensitive processes. The preferred way to get
the same information (without the side effects) is the debug syslog
feature, which is turned on by default. The only drawback I know of is
that when the system cannot be reset (neither via KDL nor via hardware
button) it is not possible to access the data, since the machine has to be
turned off (well, I've seen a laptop being turned off and on again fast
enough for the memory to still keep the data).
> I tried lots of different options all of them ending in KDL... except no
logging and acpi off. I can attach onscreen syslog but I would rather
someone suggest boot options they want to see before I do that. Would the
syslog of the system booted without acpi be of interest?
I don't think so, but feel free to attach it anyway.
> Also whether or not the logging is paging or continuous (pressing
spacebar vs letting it scroll on its own) makes a difference in where it
ends which leaves me confused as to what I should report/attach.
Please don't use the on-screen debug output at all. If you have FAT32
partition or USB stick the debug syslog feature in the boot loader menu is
the easiest way to get the syslog. Please have a look at the link I posted
earlier (there's a ''Syslog'' subsection).
