Re: Bianca will not reboot

The system comes to a halt (which is intended) but because of missing ACPI support the OS cannot tell the computer to power off. Maybe if you could modify your /boot/grub/menu.lst (I believe that's the right file name?) and check for the various entries in there ... e.g. there might be some lines saying something like:Loves2Mint wrote:Bianca looks like it is going to reboot but gets hung up at the last (2nd) Bianca GUI screen with moving dots. The dots stop moving after they have filled the bar and it just hangs.
Code: Select all
title LinuxMint
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.1-default root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x317 resume=/dev/hda10 splash=verbose
initrd /initrd-2.6.18.8-0.1-default
What we want is that "kernel .... " line. Can you please edit the file and add this parameter:
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Code: Select all
acpi=force
Code: Select all
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.1-default root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x317 resume=/dev/hda10 splash=verbose acpi=force
