That certainly explains why your /proc/acpi/processor/0/info only contains <TBD>. You definitely _don't_ have a full acpi implementation. You have to get the patches from sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36832) > (I think my problem *may* have been a rogue APMd that I thought I'd > stopped but hadn't...and further more when you install ACPID shouldn't it > *automatically* remove APMD?) It _shouldn't_ matter. If you compiled the kernel to support both, it checks for both (I'm not sure which order) and uses the first one which the BIOS supports. So then the apmd/acpid daemons could both run and only one should have any effect. derek
