If hotplug loads it, you won't hear any sound because it keeps sitting on a semaphore. The second trap is ALSA's snd-intel8x0m driver, which is somewhat broken. Before leaving the installation system, one should bring up a shell and say: rm /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/sound/oss/i810_audio.ko If you let hotplug auto-load the OSS driver for i810 cards, the kernel oopses (null pointer dereference). But you need to take care of two sound driver modules that will screw your system up. The 4101LMi will only boot it with the following commandline, because its ACPI implemetation is somewhat non-conform to the ACPI standard: linux26 noapic nolapic acpi=off vga=771 pci=noacpi On these CD's, Debian uses a 2.6.8 kernel. I've used a recent netinst-Image from for my installation. Reports about unfitness of Acer's 4100 series notebooks for Linux are somewhat exaggerated now that the ACPI4Linux guys came up with an update for kernel 2.6.12-rc1. To date, Acer has created an utter chaos by releasing several versions of the 4101 with different specs (for example Radeon X700, DDR2, FSB400 CPU or slow integrated Intel graphics) without changing the model number "4101". Last Update: - This page in German (probably more up-to-date)Įverything I say on this page is only applicable to the very first version of the 4101 notebook (with X600, FSB533 and DDR1).
(and now, for our international customers, my report in english, because I'm so good at it.)
