------- Comment #19 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-08-29 00:49 -------
Perhaps multiple bugs here, but the first one is that the BIOS
has a bogus BIOS date in the DMI table:
Base Board Information
Manufacturer: NEC COMPUTERS INTERNATIONAL
Product Name: NEC Versa Premium
System Information
Manufacturer: NEC Computers International
Product Name: Packard Bell EasyNote
BIOS Information
Vendor: Insyde Software Corporation
Version: R1.05
Release Date: /05/0620
There should be no difference between boots with "acpi=off"
and without, since ACPI is being disabled by the cutoff date.
To boot with ACPI, you can either manually add "acpi=force"
as you did above, or build with CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0
to disable this cutoff in the kernel.
If the system works in ACPI mode, we can add a white-list entry for
it to enable "acpi=force" automatically.
