Calling Interface Address: 0x000FD7E0 ACPI 2.0 present. OEM ID: IBM RSD table at 0x0FF63195. PNP 1.0 present. Event Notification: Polling Event Notification Flag Address: 0x000004B4 Real Mode Code Address: F000:9D36 Real Mode Data Address: 0040:0000 Protected Mode Code Address: 0x000F9D54 Protected Mode Data Address: 0x00000400 PCI Interrupt Routing 1.0 present. Table Size: 256 bytes Router ID: 00:1f.0 Exclusive IRQs: None Compatible Router: 8086:122e Up through 2.05, ACPI crashed the kernel during boot(2.4 and 2.6) - I posted here about that... I'm going to try this weekend with the just flashed 2.06 - even though the changelog doesn't indicate anything changed wrt ACPI. The problem was, iirc, was scanning one of the tables - I can't find the message now :( APM works on 2.4, but not 2.6 -- Rick Nelson "Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-night hacking (and/or conversations with God)."
