Feizhou ... thank you for the reply.

boot (run) that grub entry.
After you have got in, edit all your kernel parameters to add acpi=off.
That is how I get Centos 64-bit to run stably on my Asus manufactured
board. Asus BIOSes are crap and their acpi table setup is lousy."
I only have one question ... if it does successfully boot using the "acpi=off" parameter how do I actually edit all of the kernel parameters to reflect the change? What file do I edit ... need some hand holding here if you don't mind.
Thanks again

Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf or /etc/grub.conf. Just tack on 'acpi=off' to the end of the lines that start with 'kernel'.
Oh, successful boot is not all. It should also run without hiccups. If it does not...then acpi tables are not the end of the story.
I was just thinking that if I recall rightly, I had already tried the acpi=off at the end of the kernel statement. I also tried "nox" and "nonet" as well but still no go.

hmm....how about noapic then?
wait a moment...how much RAM are you allocating to your Asus M2N-MX onboard graphics?

I am using a Asus A8N-VM and I had issues using any RAM setting for the onboard Geforce other than 16MB. After the correct RAM setting, I still needed the acpi=off.
Thank you ... I'll give that another try using the 16MB memory allocation and see what happens.

Feizhou ... You are my hero!! The combo of setting the video memory to 16MB and the acpi=off worked perfectly.
Thank you! thank you! Thank you!

okay, folks, stay away from Asus boards. Someone else here reported that A-bit boards worked perfectly without any tinkering. Of course, there is always Tyan :D
One more question ... I have the Nvidia chipset GeForce 6100 but I don't care about video so did you have to install any special Nvidia drivers?

ah...I have not run a local X server on the thing yet so...you don't unless you want accelerated X...the nv X server should work.
