I think this is an ACPI problem. You can load a modified DSDT at boot. No need to replace the BIOS.

I think it would be easier to get ACPI debugging tools and modify your DSDT. This isn't the list for that, but here are a couple of links. http://www.acpica.org http://arrrr.com/presario2800.shtml (Custom DSDT section) Google for more ;) Thanks, Myles -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
