I don't think that's the reason, in fact I'm pretty sure it's not. I think it was an update to some package like maybe util-linux or modutils or something. I had thought it was the kernel, but 2.4.18/19 (no ACPI support) work fine on the mostly 8.1 machines of my parents and sister, but doesn't on mine with slightly more Cooker. Anyway, I'm gonna try to figure it out sometime. Probably December. > then other people > will have even worse problems. > > Face it. There will be bugs and there will be > tradeoffs.
