For this, I need pnpbios. Acpi works really great with this laptop, and I would like to keep using it. The only problem is that with acpi enabled, pnpbios complains: Linux Plug and Play Support v0.97 (c) Adam Belay PnPBIOS: Scanning system for PnP BIOS support... PnPBIOS: Found PnP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00fe700 PnPBIOS: PnP BIOS version 1.0, entry 0xf0000:0xe724, dseg 0xf0000 PnPBIOS: dev_node_info: function not supported on this system PnPBIOS: Unable to get node info. Aborting. hence /proc/bus/pnp does not exist anymore. This is with kernel 2.6.7 and 2.6.8.1 So two questions: 1) is it possible for acpi and pnpbios to coexist. 2) how to achieve with acpi functionality equivalent to that of pnpbios? Any suggestions ?
