"werner" <w.landgraf@ru.ru> In the last time, more and more laptops have problems to boot with Linux.
The most frequent problem is that IDE drives are not found, or cannot be accessed because reclaimed as ocupied. The only mean to access them and to get it booted, is with pci=off. However, with this, the system becomes almost unuseable, lspci also shows nothing. ITS NECESSARY THAT SOMEONE MAKE A KERNEL PARAMETER pci=noide , so that all hardware is registered, with exception of ide (and sata) drives !!!! This problem, for example, also happens on IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad laptops.
A Toshibe Satelite laptop, I need go back to kernel 2.6.23 . With later kernels, at the beginning of the boot the screen become black and nothing more happened. The same happens on that laptop with all newer Slackware kernels
