After I have installed service pack 2 my XP X64 system reboots continuously.
When starting in safe mode I observe that the last driver loaded is
acpitabl.dat. This file does not exist.
Any ideas what is going wrong here?

Best regards,
Klaus

I have usually had that when the system is confused about drives. If you
have any USB devices attached, unplug them. If you have multiple SATA
drives, if the USB situation doesn't work, unplug the ones that are not
necessary to boot. You should then plug everything back while the system is
booted if this turns out to be the problem.

Thanks John,

I have unplugged the USB keyboard. I do not have any SATA drives. I have two
SCSI drives and one IDE Raid system with three drives.

However, after unplugging the USB keyboard, it still does not boot. Any
other ideas how to proceed?

Thanks and regards,
Klaus

The USB keyboard should make no difference as I was referring to drives.
As I mentioned, for me, the three or four times I have had this problem),
having only the system and boot drives connected has solved it. Since SATA
drives are hot swappable I was able to plug the disconnected ones back in
and this solved my problems. If I shut down the computer and reconnected
the drives, before reconnecting them when the computer was on, I would not
be able to reboot, with the same problem. Since the system reassigned drive
letters when they were connected with the machine booted and continued to
function thereafter, each time, different machines, different os, I assumed
it had something to do with the change in drive letter assignments.
I am not familiar enough with SCSI or RAID to know what options may be
available, but if you can try to boot up with only the system and boot
drives connected to see if you can boot, it would seem worth a try.

Thanks John,

However my IDE RAID system is not hot swappable, the controller is part of
the motherboard and I cannot plug in drives after the system has been booted.
I have already repaired the x64 installation, this took hours. Unfortunately,
I had to reinstall all updates. After installing sp2 I have the same
situation again.
Any ideas?

Thanks and regards,
Klaus
