I installed Fedora Core 4 to a pentium 3. When I try to boot it I get a picture of Tux and an error to this effect:

Did you try booting with acpi=force in the boot command line? In the grub menu hit e to edit the options and add that to the end of the main linux command line (middle line I think?). If that works then add it to the proper lines in grub.conf.
I tried adding acpi=force in the "kermel" command line of the Grub menu. It makes no difference. However, I have trouble booting Mandrake as well on that drive - I think there may be other issues not relevant to the error message. -- -Dan Dr. Dan Martin, MD, CCFP, BSc, BCSc (Hon) GP Hospital Practitioner Computer Science grad student ummar143@cc.umanitoba.ca (204) 831-1746 answering machine always on
