Okay, yet another update. I found that these packages were not installed:
ibm-acpi acpi (though acpid was installed) I emerged them and then recompiled the kernel. However, I'm really beginning to get suspicious... I really think that a kernel recompile would take longer. Would you say about 45 seconds is right for a 1.0GHz Pentium-M with 256Megs of PC2700 SO-DIMM RAM? (200-pin, of course) I'm going to go recheck a few things now. -- [email protected] mailing list
