Thanks. I cannot turn off acpi in the bios - if I do the system refuses to boot at all (only with the 2.4.21 kernel). The 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 kernels bootup fine with acpi disabled in bios. This special case of 2.4.21 dying at initial boot, before any logging was possible was an unusual case for me - I usually can get to at least a kernel panic if there is something screwy with my kernels. I am about to try rebooting with the acpi=off switch with my current 2.4.21 custom kernel and see what comes of that. praedor
