I have a GigaByte 5AA mobo, which is a combined AT/ATX mobo (it has an ATX power socket, however it is in AT size). Afterwards I tried acpi=force, which was proposed in the avove message. The effect was: ACPI: Subsystem revision 20031002 tbxface-0117 [03] acpi_load_tables : ACPI Tables successfully acquired Parsing all Control Methods:...................................................... ..............................................

However, later, when my SCSI contoller probed its devices, the following message was printed: Losing too many ticks! TSC cannot be used as a timesource. (Are you running with SpeedStep?) Falling back to a sane timesource. Since then, some operations take _much_ longer. So should I forget ACPI ?
