Well we can disable that stuff in the install with the kernel, but in order to do so we need the hw info bios revision so we know what system to block, and what part of it... So here is what you need to do... first get MDK installed, probably using the above mentioned commands.. then install lm_sensors... then tell me what commands you needed (acpi=off, acpi=ht, noapic, nolapic, ...) to get it working... then send me the output of the following commands: (as root) #lspcidrake -v #cat /var/log/dmesg #dmidecode with this info I'll add them to my kernels, and most likely Juan will pick them up for MDK main kernels...
