One of the fixes I've found on the net is to edit the grub2 file which has a basic emacs editor they suggest we add a line acpi=off however I don't seem to be able to save it. What command should I use? cntrl + s doesn't seem to work Ron Dean
it's ctrl-w to save and ctrl-c to quit in emacs. How are you editing grub? By pressing esc when the boot splash comes up? Or w/ a live disk maybe? Can you post the link your looking at? Best, John On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 6:19 PM, Ron Dean <rvdean(a)ihug.co.nz> wrote:

If you are editing the config "live" - eg, from the grub menu during the boot process, then you cannot save the config. To make any changes permanent, you'll need to edit the grub config on your harddisk after booting the computer succesfully.
