Thanks for that tip, it actually works!

I'm using 2.4.20-pre7-acpi-20020918 now, and it boots fine,
all devices continue to work, Fn+F10 switches my LCD off, and
setting limit in /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/ also works, nice!

(Btw, I'm wndering why it always shows P0:T0 as active state,
even if I do nothing on the machine. Is there a way to
set it such that it automatically sets T1 or some higher state it the
system load is effectively 0?
