What is the worst that could happen if the acpi is broken in the board and I force it? Just courious, what if I forced it for a really old board that didn't have acp= i at all and thus technically couldn't work anyway (I wouldn't do that but = I do wonder)? Would the acpi files in proc still exist or not? > On Thu, 5 Feb 2004 23:14:15 -0600 (CST) > "Nick Bartos" wrote: > >> I can do acpi=3Dforce, but I worry about causing stability issues. > > If the machine works with that it is safe.
