PS. (I just did a BIOS update on one of our old SuperMicros) To make it more fun there's the level of ACPI support in your kernel, with whatever fixes and patches you distro vendor backported to it and whatever compile-time options they chose to not enable -- e.g. RedHat is notorious for shipping software whose versions have nothing to do with the actual feature set. And then there's BIOS ACPI options: I've "v.1", "v.2", "v.3" and "disabled", and all of them cause the current centos 5 kernel to spit out a bunch of "No PSS objects! ACPI borked! Fire your BIOS vendor!" crap on boot.
So yeah, "not simple" is a bit of an understatement. -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
