Arrow 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+
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 1808.352
cache size : 128 KB
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow up rep_good pni cx16 lahf_lm extapic cr8_legacy
bogomips : 3619.01
TLB size : 1024 4K pages
clflush size : 64
cache_alignment : 64
address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc


uname -r: 2.6.24



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

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 ?
