Hi, I tried to install Debian Etch on Acer Aspire 5050. I installed using a netinstall CD and the network card worked fine.
After the install while booting into the new system I was stuck up with the error ================================================================= Loading ACPI modules: battery ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent) ac ================================================================= it gets stuck there if I give acpi=off in the boot options then I can get the login prompt but the network card does not send out any packets. #ifconfig -a shows the network card is up but it does not send out any packets. Also it keeps on showing an error in the console =================================================== NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 ==================================================== Could some one tell me how to fix this error?
