Description Phil Richardson 2004-05-08 17:10:18 UTC 
Although the kernel attempts to load, and in 5.2.1 the opening options screen appears, when you attempt to go further the machine hangs for a few seconds before powering down. Using any options (such as disabling ACPI, makes no difference). The debug option shows ACPI being loaded and then nothing else.  

I suspect its unsupported chipsets thats causing the problem - but if anyone can advise if this is a known problem or a fix-around then please advise.

Dupe of amd64/67745 (which is really not amd64 specific).
