Did you put acpi=off in your /boot/grub/menu.lst file? I would like to know if that is the correct place to put it.
As I said/pointed out -- my system seems to support ACPI, so I didn't have a problem with it. Ironically, my LAPTOP does seem to have a problem with this. "things worked fine" with 8.0, but "broke" with 8.1, and I think I had to do "something" with APM/ACPI. I have yet to upgrade the laptop, and when I do, I'll be keeping this in mind.
Maybe not. If you check your boot.msg, you may find the kernel checks your Bios date, and if it is too old, it will automatically disable acpi. It appears from the traffic on this list that the acpi code is still in need of some work. ;-) -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
