Unfortunately that behaviour broke a bunch of other things, which is why it had to be backed out in the end. As a result, I believe on hardware that previously used this, you now need to supply acpi=off as a boot parameter. Coupd you please try booting kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686_2.4.27-8 with that option and see if it helps? -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
