I need to disable the local APIC option (nolapic). After this, ACPI works. There are still complaints, but at least it'll run and you can see debug msgs. This may be old news, but I didn't find any suggestion in the archives. Even though it's not an ACPI problem, it can appear as such because disabling ACPI also allows the kernel to boot. I'm not sure how ACPI and APIC interact on my laptop. So, I thought a post that mentions this would be good. It doesn't solve the compile problem for the DSDT file, and there are probably limitations, at least it's workable. - Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
