<br>but I'm not really sure how adding pci=noacpi would help, and whether or not it could cause other problems.
<br><br>Has anybody got any other ideas? Can anyone tell me if its safe to try pci=noacpi?</blockquote><div><br>I've just noticed, top shows the nice value of mythtranscode to be 17, so a low priority. I suspect my installation of linux is ignoring the values of nice. I've read it might be todo with acpi, but I've also read pci=noacpi. Can anyone reassure me its safe to use pci=noacpi?
