Secondly, I just got an Acer Travelmate 3002wtci, and the first thing I did was rip out the hard drive and tried to put linux on it. I've had it for a couple of days now, and I've gotten most of it working, but I noticed that if ACPI support is enabled on any of my kernels (currently running mm-sources 2.6.13-rc5-mm1), the computer will hang right after I press enter in grub, showing up no messages and giving me a blank black screen. I am thinking like most Acer laptops, it has a buggy DSDT and ECDT problems, so I've considered fixing it, but I can't even run a cat /proc/acpi since acpi has to be disabled in order to boot, so I am stuck. I would post technical specs, but I am currently at work. I will post more when I get home,but for now, here is what i remember off the top of my head: ACPI "compliant" 1.0b PhoenixBIOS Winbond (Nat Semi) PC87591 sensor Pentium M 740 (1.73 GHz) ICH6 Controller (i2c-i801 + eeprom loaded) Is there anything I can do to diagnose/fix the problem more?
