    Hi all,

    I have recently downloaded a trial of Workstation 9.1 and can only get the bootable media to work in Safe mode. In full it crashes every single time on one of my machines. On the others it seems to work okay. I have tried the "acpi=off noapic" trick and that doesn't seem to make any difference. The last two lines when it fails are:

    /bin/insmod piix
    /lib/modules/piix.o

    I have ran some Google searches and it appears to be drive controller related. I want to be able to drop the backups on to a USB drive but that won't work by the looks of it.

    System spec:
    Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800
    MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edition
    2GB Corsair Dominator XMS2 PC2 6400 CAS 3439
    2 x 150GB WD Raptor X RAID 0
    1 x WDC WD800 80GB

    Kind regards,

    Howard

    I'm guessing that the easy way to do it would be to build a BartPE disk and add the plugin. I'm guessing that quite a few users here use that method?

    BartPE is highly recommended see the sticky thread for links https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=29880.

    I found the culprit in the end. It was the JMicron® JMB361 controller. With this disabled in the BIOS it works perfectly. The module piix.o appears to try and load but fails.

    I understand that that particular controller is a headache for a number of folks, including ones not using ATI.
