It had previously been running redhat 9 just fine. For the most part, the new 2.6 kernel is awesome. battery power is significantly improved and all devices and pc cards I have work fine. The problem is that, occasionally, more often on battery power, but also on AC, the hard drive will start grinding away and the computer will get slower and slower until it becomes unuseable and I have to power it off. Also, once or twice, my X session disappeared and it looked like I had been switched to a console, however the font was different (looked more like a graphical console than vga) and error messages of some sort were being printed. I was able to get it back to my X session, but I don't recall how off hand. I also don't remember what the error message said and I haven't been able to reproduce it again. I suspect it may be acpi related. dmesg: http://www.botchco.com/alex/x24/dmesg.txt when ACPI loads there seems to be a problem with the ECDT: ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040326 ACPI: IRQ9 SCI: Edge set to Level Trigger. ACPI: Found ECDT ACPI: Could not use ECDT ACPI-1133: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__._INI] (Node 11eb5a9c), AE_NOT_EXIST ACPI: Interpreter enabled I found this page: http://www.poupinou.org/acpi/ibm_ecdt.html regarding broken ECDT tables on thinkpads, but it seems pretty old. Is this something I should do, or is there already a fix for this in the acpi code? contents of /proc/acpi: http://www.botchco.com/alex/x24/proc-acpi.txt Any advice would be much appreciated. let me know if you need any other information. Thanks, Alex
