The trend in the free os community is to do ACPI functions in the OS -- this is smart, I think. You need to get ACPI tables from the existing BIOS and then see how far the Linux ACPI emulator is and how well it works. This is a bit of work but would be a huge help and we would love to have a writeup. ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
