(it was running 2.4.21-pre1, it has aslo been running with several acpi patches) And then: dmesg |grep ACPI BIOS-e820: 0000000027fec000 - 0000000027fef000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 0000000027fff000 - 0000000028000000 (ACPI NVS) ACPI: have wakeup address 0xc0001000 ACPI disabled because your bios is from 2000 and too old <- WTF?

PCI: ACPI tables contain no PCI IRQ routing entries I assure you that this machine has been running with acpi enabled for years without a problem. The latest bios is from "2000/08/04" according to asus' website. Is it me or is this check unwarranted? Or does it actually catch bad bisoses? PS.
