Well, if you want to solve it you should probably try running the latest kernel first, and if the problem persists, surf to http://acpi.sf.net for information on how to submit a bug report.
Looking at your attached stuff, your ACPI is from January and there is no error to be seen except for maybe the (blacklisted?) BIOS of your compaq. What I'm saying is, there's not enough info to help you. So try running 2.4.26, maybe even patched with 2.4.27-pre3 from http://kernel.org and try searching http://bugzilla.kernel.org for your model. Google turned up: http://students.fct.unl.pt/users/fdc10056/presarioeng.html and http://www.pantropy.net/linux/laptop/tuxtop.html Good luck, Arjen On Tue, 25 May 2004, Claus Aranha wrote: > Hello folks, > > I have recently acquired a Compaq Presario 700, and tried to install > the Sarge Beta netinstall CD.
