SubjectRe: Flashing keyboard LEDS upon boot.
From
Date
Richard,

Curious that the 2nd boot works...

In any case, if the kernel dies in the early ACPI table parsing code
you'd never get any console output -- so Willy may be right.

Let me know if the system boots with "acpi=off", but does not boot
without.

thanks,
-Len
