I am using kernel-2.4.2-ac12 (will try ac14). The motherboard is a
Supermicro P6DBU. (I will need to check the board when I get home to
confirm). I get the messages below when the system starts:
acpi: system description tables not found
The manufacturer says that there is support for acpi. So I willing to beat
it around a bit to get the tables found. Any ideas where to start?

Motherboard is a P6DBE. IDE drives. Just found the site and confirmed it.

Stephen,
Is there a BIOS setup option for enabling ACPI? Make sure it is enabled.
Also attach a copy of the E820 output from dmesg.

download the pmtools package from
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm . (It's at the
bottom.) The acpidmp utility is what you're interested in (you can ignore
compile errors from the others.) Does this utility find tables, or not?
Thanks -- Regards -- Andy

I got the utility and compiled it under 2.4.2-ac12. No problem wit that.
Acpidump reports:
acpidump: cannot find an RSDP (Is ACPI enabled?).
Yes ACPI is enabled in the system bios. Motherboard is P6DBU (Supermicro)
with Dual P3 @ 450MHz.

Stephen,
Your BIOS isn't reporting any ACPI capability. If it were you would have at
least two more entries in the e820 output that say ACPI NVS and ACPI
Reclaim. Have you been able to install a MS OS and have it recognize ACPI?
Are there any other BIOS settings that might be related (what about a PnP OS
setting or something under Power Management)? You might also check for any
BIOS updates available from the motherboard manufacturer.
