[EdLUG] Can't Reach Log In Page

[azmodie]

Hi Marion,

Looks like the acpi code is failing to execute.  This could be for multiple
reasons.

Try changing the grub line at boot by adding "acpi=off" and maybe "noapic". see
if it boots.  other hardware detections might help too. eg.
noapic,nolapic,noacpi,noapm

details of what they refer to are here. uner HArdware workarounds

if it does boot you may need to fix the acpi package.

all the best
Kris
