Was it really that simple? I got an email from someone else who said there were problems with APIC (which is not the same as ACPI). Can you check your .config to see what your APIC options are set to? There are three options in the 2.4.20, there may be more for the 2.4.21 kernel. If this works, and I can get a few confirmations that it works this way I will add it to the ACPI HOWTO that I'm working on right now. The LDP is doing a review right now so I have a bit of time to add new things before it goes up there. In the mean time an older version is available at: http://xtrinsic.com/geek/articles/acpi.phtml The XML file I submitted to the LDP is available from http://xtrinsic.com/geek/articles/drafts/acpi.xml It will be released under the GNU copy left documentation license (the actual name of the license escapes me at the moment--but I'm only on coffee 1.5). We're hoping to get it up in the next couple of weeks. thanks! emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
