Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I think SuSE has done quite well in informing the user about these things and how to get around most of them.
Not as far as acpi is concerned. I agree with Dep that ACPI should be turned off by default.
As Phillip already explained we tried that in 8.0 and it was even more of a problem. There some machines that won't even boot if it isn't turned making debugging the problem impossible. Which is better, having a percentage of machines that cannot boot or having a percentage that can boot but don't work properly?
I'm walking ANOTHER person through an 8.2 install (how many of you on here have done 12 or more over the phone in the past 2 weeks?!!) and ALL MUST have ACPI turned off! Hmmmm......that ought to be worth a t-shirt, eh Chris? :) Fred -- "DRM.. Digitally Retarded Media.
