Hello,

I have just got my Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi laptop which has AMD Turion 64x x2
with 1.5 GB of ram, and tried the 6.1 ISO image to boot, it stops and wont
boot after loading acpi kernel module, I tried to boot with acpi disabled in
the boot menu, but no use, it just hangs and nothing happens.

I updated the bios which was just released by Acer, but the same problem.

Aspire 3100, 5100, and 5110 shares same bios mobo ..etc.
