Slackware install

[marioland]

Installing slack 12 CD1 ISO on a compaq Presatio 1670 laptop

Have to use huge.s kernel for it to extract and start install but then it hangs at

"äpm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (driver version 1.16ac)"

CD is clean

try to use apm=off to your kernel parameter ,you can also try acpi=off if this doesn't work or both.

apm=off worked

I also found the file posted literally all over the internet i should of looked before asking

also found a reference of sorts for the kernel parameters

Thanks for your answer though

Regards.
