When installing on a Clevo 5600 notebook with a SiS M650 chipset i can see the

Does it work if you add nofirewire to your boot options?

Comment 2 Bernardo Marques 2003-08-27 05:52:44 UTC
Yep, I got it, with 'nofirewire' it freezed also, but i've tried 'linux nofb 
nofirewire nousb nofir nopcmcia noprobe' and it worked. I guess that 
the 'nopcmcia' solved my problem. thanks a lot.
