Package: debian-installer Severity: important After resolving a problem with ntfsresize (reported under separate cover), I was able to install Debian Etch on my Pavilion. After removing the install CD and rebooting, GRUB appears, I select Debian Etch, and Linux starts to boot. The line "Checking TSC synchronization across 2 CPUs" appears, and the system freezes solid. I have to power off to do anything. Once in five tries so far, boot proceeded to the next line, "CPU#0 had 2672658 usecs, TSC skew, fixed it up", and THEN the system froze.
CPU is an AMD Turion-64 X2 TL-50. 1.5 GB RAM. Google and AltaVista searches find nothing useful on this message and I'm not kernel hacker enough to start searching the source. The system continues to work fine in Windows Media Center (which came installed). It can't be incompatible with Linux per se, because both the installer and Knoppix can boot and run. Anything I can do to help debug this? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2.-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
