acpi doesn't work. If I remove acpi=off OR I put acpi = on on lilo.conf the
computer just after booting. Loading linux. BeOS ....
I've tried to recompile the kernel but it doesn't work.
The path should be /proc/acpi, but it is only /proc.
The directories created in /proc, that is "ac_adapter", "battery", "button", and
so on are empty.
Sugestion: use acpi drivers from sf.net/projects/acpi - they work just fine.
The only way of use acpi in my laptop is getting the original kernel source, the
apply the acpi patch in at http://sf.net/projects/acpi.
Because of that I've to spend much time & I loose supermount from Mandrake.
The procedure above works on every laptops whose persons I've helped to install
linux (laptops with acpi)
Good luck!
