Can not boot Fedora on an HP Pavilion dv6-6135 laptop

[joe.pelayo]

Hello everybody.

I've been trying to boot an HP laptop (dv6-6135) with AMD APU A8-3500 from a F15 liveUSB.

The machine gives an error message after trying to boot (the message is simplified):

... address space collision: host bridge window
[..] conflicts with Video ROM [..]
ACPI: [Package] has zero elements (..)

It does not matter if I try the x86 or the x86_64 version.

What can I do to avoid this error and allow Linux to boot in the aforementioned laptop?

I am sure the CPU with built-in graphics are to blame here, but a kernel parameter would solve the problem.

Thanks,
Joe.

have you tried noacpi as a kernel parameter?

Thanks for your answer. Since it is not my machine I'll have to wait until I have access to it again and try your solution. I tried the parameters "nopat", "acpi=0" (probably not a parameter, but I am a little rusty on that), "noapic" to no avail.

I'll post back...
Joe.
