I added to the , pass onto kernel line "acpi=off" and it started to
boot until it got to the point of detecting mouse,
is there any commands i can send to kernel to bypass mouse detection ?
Error message below;
"input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as
/devices/virtual/input/input0 PNP: no PS/2 controller found.
Probing ports directly."
This laptop is a Everex Cloudbook and it has no PS/2 mouse connection,
if you want a external mouse you will have to connect to USB .
It amazing, this laptop has no problem booting into Fedora 8.
I would look at this as a bug, wouldn't you ??
