I noticed the message about acpi blacklisting and decided to try and see what the problem was. Booting this machine with acpi=force does not seem to have broken anything. (network, video, audio, ide all seem fine) In fact, it actually fixes an IOAPIC problem I used to have with it. when the ioapic is configured using the MPS table, one of the usb controllers is assigned the wrong interrupt, which makes the front usb connectors useless. When configured using the ACPI data, it works. So, 1) what else should I be looking for to make sure that my machine isn't broken? 2) if it's not broken, I assume you want logs, DSDT dumps, etc. What should I be sending? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
