ACPI on HP ze4430us

ACPI on HP ze4430us

[Konstantin Svist]

Hi everyone,

I just tried Knoppix 3.7 on my laptop - it doesn't boot. After some playing
around, I figured out that the problem is ACPI - it only boots if I specify
any of the three "hacks": "acpi=off", "acpi=ht", and "acpi=force". The last
one even powers down my laptop on shutdown.
What is going on here?

Thanks,
Konstantin Svist

Sounds like that knoppix kernel has APM and ACPI support compiled in and 
APM gets choses on your laptop even though it's not supported so you 
have to tell the kernel to use ACPI explicitly.

I see.
So is there a more solution more permanent than the hack? Does that have to
do with DSDT?

Those kernel options aren't hacks as far as I know, they're perfectly 
legitimate.  You can recompile the kernel and remove APM support to 
avoid using them though.
