Haia I have seen this several times on this list """ACPI=off""". ( saw it on the installation disk as well). Can somebody tell me what the advantages are and why should I do this ? -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. My holy cow is a penguin.

See http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/81_acpi.html for the possible acpi options and http://www.suse.de/en/private/products/suse_linux/i386/acpi.html for more background. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de Development, SuSE Linux AG private: philipp.thomas@t-link.de

Ideally, it should not be necessary, but some machines can not cope with it, and somethings fails. So, if something of your hardware doesn't work, try it (or apic). Otherwise, it's better if acpi works. Read the links Mr Thomas told you, they are very interesting :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
