-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK, I solved the somewhat strange problem. For some reason the kernel installation added the "acpi=off" parameter to the lilo boot entry. (I suspect that it might be the fact that I booted with the option acpi=off in lilo into the session that i compiled and installed the kernel in). By the way - is there a good way to exit reading a man page on the console (besides the stupid <ctrl><z> command that I use now).
