[Bug 56078] Compaq Presario SR1010NX Kernal Panic with Live CD

[onsite]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

 In the past when I have used other versions of Linux that were Debian based I was able to use the ACPI=OFF switch with out a problem. When I try this with either Ubuntu 5.1 or Ubuntu 6.06 on my Compaq I recieve an error message:
153.877829 Kernel Panic no syncing: VFS Unable to mount root FS on unknown block (8,1)
153.877888  (It FREEZES here)

Or if I try ACPI=OFF NOAPIC then I get the same error message except the numbers are:
 66.830539 Kernel Panic no syncing: VFS Unable to mount root FS on unknown block (8,1)
66.830601  (It FREEZES here)

I am able to run it fine on my Compaq laptop, but my primary machine,
and the one I wasnt to use it on is the Presario which has 768 mb ram,
Celeron 2.8 gHz and 2 hard drives. Any help is greatly appreciated.
