Fedora 8 x86_64 freezes with ACPI enabled
 

Hi,

There is a issue when I try to run Fedora 8 x86_64 with ACPI enabled.
It works for some time, but freezes when the PC is idle for some time.

It works fine when I boot the system with acpi disabled
(acpi=off kernel argument).

I have the following in /proc/cpuinfo:

processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 15
model : 95
model name : AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3200+

uname -r: 2.6.24



It didn't work with 'acpi=restrict' kernel argument as well.

Is there any info in the logs with errors?
Is this a notebook? If so make and model.

No, it's a desktop.

I tried to find any error message, checking the gnome-system-log app, but I didn't find anything related.

Did I mention my MB has a NVIDIA nFORCE chipset ?
