I tried adding that and the kernel recognises that I've tried the option but ACPI still won't start up (I even recompiled the kernel and added the processor section under ACPI just in case some code was left out but I get the same results). This is what dmesg shows everytime: [snip] ACPI: Unable to locate RSDP Intel MultiProcessor Specification v1.4 Virtual Wire compatibility mode.

[snip] So I currently don't know what RSDP is, though I'm hunting around for the definition. Any other ideas? Why is this harder than it should be? This processor does actually do HT but I've been unable to manage it :) Help! -- Statux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
