[solved] arch kernel freezes, how can I replace it with lts

the kernel freezes on almost every boot; I'm referring to the kernel installed and downloaded when I used the net install to install arch

how do I install the lts kernel ? maybe the lts won't freeze...

If you can successfully boot, I think it's enough to install the new kernel and edit grub's menu.lst or whatever you use.

solved... I got rid of kernel freeze, or kernel hang, by appending the "acpi=off" parameter in grub and syslinux

I have no idea what "acpi=off" does, but it's the olny solution I found that enables me to both install arch and use it...

Keep an eye on the battery meter, w/o acpi your computer might be using more power.

@ karol: it doesn't have a battery, it's a desktop

I don't know what else to try other that disabling acpi
