Hi,
My Laptop (a Toshiba Satellite L500D with 2 AMD CPUs, 64-bit, 4GB RAM, 400GB HDD and 256MB ATI dedicated video card) boots up 8.2-Release DVD, but after the first menu, at least option 1 it only loads ahci module thinking dvd is Serial-ATA but not pcmcia/laptop dvd module.
It doesn't detect the DVD with ahci, just says errors before waiting 10 seconds to sleep devices. It doesn't mount the root image for installation. I believe the HDD is detected.
If I choose no ACPI or Safe Mode, other weird things happen or Safe Mode never tries to detect DVD.
When option No. 8 to go to boot loader prompt is selected, what do I type in to get modules etc. working?
Thanks,
Jimmy.
