Problem with ACPI or framebuffer (no output while startup)

Problem with ACPI or framebuffer (no output while startup)

[Felix Seeger]

Hi

I'm running 2.4.18-pre9
I disabled APM, because I ACPI won't work with enabled APM.
Maybe this is normal.

Laptop: Sony vaio pcg-qr10

I boot with frame buffer and vga=normal (fb doesn't work, no tux...)
And now:

tbxface-0099 [01] ACPI_load_tables : ACPI Tables successfully loaded
Parsing Methods :...................
154 Control Methods found and parsed (479 nodes total)
ACPI Namespave successfully loaded at root c02fd500
ACPI: Core Subsystem version [20011018]
evxfevnt-0081 [02] Acpi_enable : Transition to ACPI mode successful
Executing device _INI methods: ............. (13 points)

After that the output stops but the systems starts up, onyl the output...

What is my problem ACPI or Frame Buffer. I've have VESA 2.0 and vga 
configured.

Do I need special vag= options ?
All options from the manual don't work, lilo takes only the default lilo 
options. (my lilo supports hex 0x things if you trust the manpage)


thanks
have fun
Felix

Known problem. ACPI is getting the bus wrong on PCI config space accesses
and accidentally turning off the video, I believe.

Ok, can I configure this or do something else except fixing it ? ;)
ACPI is the only thing which shows my battery and AC status right.
Also it has other nice features and gives many infos about my hardware.
APM is something that never worked on my laptop.

thanks
