ACPI is enabled by default in the kernel. You never needed a
patch. Check your lilo.conf line and remove anything like
'acpi=off' or acpi=ht' from the kernel's append= line. Reboot. If
that didn't do it, you can try adding 'acpi=force' to the append
line as a last resort. BUT don't add it to lilo.conf just yet. At
the lilo splash screen, press <Esc> and type 'linux acpi=force'
(you may have to use one of the displayed kernel versions rather
than 'linux' if you've updated kernels)
acpi= [HW,ACPI] Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
force Force ACPI on, even if blacklisted platform
off Disable ACPI
ht Limit ACPI to boot-time LAPIC enumeration for HT,
disabling the run-time AML interpreter.
Are you sure your hardware is ACPI capable? "It works in
Windoze" doesn't count. If you get ACPI enabled,
check /var/log/dmesg to see how succesfully it was implemented.
I have ACPI enabled. If you want I can send you my dmesg file
offlist as an example.
