Hello,
I ran a search for acpi=ht, but didn't get any hits on the forums. I'm hoping someone can help me solve a mystery.
I was having trouble reaching the network with FC4. I had already configured other machines just fine, so I was stumped. On booting up the eth0 would get an IP address just fine, and in the network configuration screen the eth0 was active. I went over the configuration again and again, but neither Firefox nor the update program could connect.
Then, using a suggestion from forums.fedoraforum.org/archive, I changed my grub config from this
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
to this
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 acpi=ht
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Now I can connect just fine. Great. Trouble is I don't know why. The other forum doesn't explain what acpi=ht is or how it fixed the problem. Can someone here help?
Thanks a lot,
Nic
