The issue has made me fume enough to contemplating installing windos for the first time in some 10 years. But I'll persevere. Will learn ACPI-speak, read bios- and kernelcode. Then return, have no fear (even if just to admit that the BIOS is buggy). Speaking of bugs, I was directed, off-list, to the patch which mends your latest chip-away of C2/C3 for many systems: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=acpi4linux&m=112138186129178&w=2 It did however not fix my K8 system. >I.e.
