You can turn off acpi support, either temporarily during a boot or by editing grub/lilo. On my more recent K7 kerenel, acpi is on by default and apm is off. ACPI does not work on all bios's, afaikt. http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2002/10/81_acpi.html -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
