    6976If your system won't boot, the most useful log is captured from the serial port.
    7077To capture a log from the serial port you need:
     78
     79If your system does not have a serial port, or you cannot collect a serial port log, collect a video log as described below.
    7180
    72811. A fully wired null modem cable (ie. one that supports hardware handshaking).
     
    85943. Edit the config.sys on the system under test and change the PSD line to:
    8695   PSD=ACPI.PSD /DBGLVL=3 /O1
    87 4. Comment out (using REM) the APM.ADD driver and the AcpiDaemon RUN statement.
    88 5. Boot the system under test. When it stops close the log file on the system
