Hi Roberto The 2.4.22 kernel does have ACPI built-in, and the modules are definitely there: $ ls /lib/modules/2.4.22-1-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/ ac.o battery.o fan.o thermal.o asus_acpi.o button.o processor.o toshiba_acpi.o I just doesn´t seem to be starting during kernel boot-up with the Debian kernel. Although, as I mentioned, it does work correctly with a standard ftp.kernel.org kernel. Regards Damien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
