ACPI is OLD. It came out in 1996. They are on version 5 as of 2011. UEFI has taken over maintaining ACPI these days. Of course on arm, ACPI is new for 64bit arm and has never been used on older arm designs that I have ever heard of. > For a device like this with a custom Debian install not based on one > from the Debian installer/debootstrap, I would strongly suggest to > have full-system backups, including all binaries and configuration > files or at least a backup of the files that are different to those > from a standard install. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
