Move Won't Boot Completely
When Move always hangs during the boot process, it may be having a hard time configuring itself for some of the features of your hardware. One workaround is to disable some of the hardware checks Move performs during boot. To do this, press F1 when the Move boot splash first comes up, then enter one of the following commands and press Enter:
linux noapic acpi=off nolapic pnpbios=off linux noapic acpi=off nolapic
Oddly enough, the Move CD sometimes starts booting and then gets hung up at a later point, because its boot program suddenly thinks the CD-ROM drive itself has disappeared from the system. If Move reports that your CD-ROM drive cannot be found, try entering the following command after pressing F1 at the Move boot prompt:
linux noprobe acpi=off noapic
If this command doesn't do the trick, one of these two commands might work:
linux noapic acpi=off nolapic pnpbios=off linux noapic nolapic
You may experience problems booting Move with a PCMCIA card in your laptop. If so, try booting the laptop without the card, and once KDE is fully loaded, put the card back into your laptop and it should be automatically recognized.
