Hello folks, I have recently acquired a Compaq Presario 700, and tried to install the Sarge Beta netinstall CD. Everything seems to have worked ok, except that the ACPI module does not seem to be working.
The ACPI seems to kick in and suddenly dies while the kernel is loading, complaining about a known bug. I'm not very proficient in solving kernel-related problems, so I googled a little and found http://www.lsp.ups-tlse.fr/Chafai/presario.html and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/ACPI-HOWTO/index.html but both don't shed any light on my problem, they seem to assume that kernel ACPI support works out of the box for the 2.4.25 kernel that I am using. I'm adding output from uname and dmesg| grep ACPI. I tried using different parts of the error messages in my searchs but came up with nothing, so I home someone here could point me in the right direction... # dmesg | grep ACPI BIOS-e820: 000000000eef0000 - 000000000eeff000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000000eeff000 - 000000000ef00000 (ACPI NVS) ACPI: have wakeup address 0xc0001000 ACPI: RSDP (v000 PTLTD ) @ 0x000f6dc0 ACPI: RSDT (v001 PTLTD RSDT 0x06040000 LTP 0x00000000) @ 0x0eefb63b ACPI: FADT (v001 COMPAQ EAGLES 0x06040000 PTL_ 0x000f4240) @ 0x0eefeeb6 ACPI: SSDT (v001 PTLTD POWERNOW 0x06040000 LTP 0x00000001) @ 0x0eefef2a ACPI: DSDT (v001 COMAPQ EAGLES 0x06040000 MSFT 0x0100000d) @ 0x00000000 ACPI: Vendor "COMAPQ" System " EAGLES" Revision 0x6040000 has a known ACPI BIOS problem.
