Booting with the pci=noacpi option, the machine runs fine. 2. An ASUS-7N266 with Athlon 1700, embedded GeForce2, the machine does not even start booting unless acpi=off is passed on the command line. It looks like the whole acpi thing is quite flaky. Why are the files in /proc/acpi when all the doc show them in /proc/sys/acpi? acpid looks for the rules in /etc/acpi/events and fails to start because this folder does not exist. Where is acpictl? =-= kk1
