Since test4, I've had
Compaq Workstation W8000 detected: force use of acpi=ht
which leads to
ACPI: Interpreter disabled.
and that to annoying things like spinning down my IDE drive, which it
isn't configured to do and doesn't happen in test3, and not powering off
on shutdown.
I see the entry doing this (./arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c:922)
{ force_acpi_ht, "Compaq Workstation W8000", {
MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Compaq"),
MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "Workstation W8000"),
NO_MATCH, NO_MATCH }},
introduced in test4. But why? Are there problems with more advanced
features like sleep?
acpi=force on test5 returns me to the functionality I had in test3.
