Does 2.6.6 do this as well?
Comment by galen thurber (galen2) - Monday, 24 May 2004, 18:48 GMT
yes 2.6.6 also dies
Comment by galen thurber (galen2) - Monday, 24 May 2004, 18:49 GMT
yes 2.6.6 also dies, but it might boot after an hour if left alone

Yes. Now I can confirm this to be a problem too.

Workaround is to turn off acpi (acpi=off). Actually I had acpi=off set before and "hdc lost" happend to me when I tried to turn acpi on. My kernel is 2.6.6 and hdc is liteon dvd rw - I can provide more detailed info but I don't think its related to specific hardware).The problem is also known on http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3070#comment-8787 I'm not sure if turning apic off and leaving acpi on would help or if we should turn off both of them but turning acpi=off alone works for me.

Okay, we'll add a FAQ for it.
