ASUS P4V8X-X Motherboard and ACPI problems........?
I'm having a problem, well not really a "PROBLEM", that is bugging me to death. Currently, I'm dual booting Windows XP Professional and Mandriva 2009. Before I can boot from Windows back to Mandriva Linux, I have to enter my BIOS and disable ACPI. Then, to go back to Windows, I have to enter the BIOS again and re-enable ACPI. If I don't do this, neither OS will boot. My question is, how can I leave ACPI enabled, permanently, and STILL boot into Mandriva 2009? Is this possible?
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=b8701dfe-c3ae-47b8-9638-9a03710cb3ea resume=UUID=85f6479e-53be-4ecd-99a2-16c44c3bec51 splash=silent vga=788acpi=off <--this is where you add this parameter.

I actually have three lines of "kernel" text in that file....."title linux".... "title linux-nonfb"....and "title failsafe". Do I need to include the "acpi=off" at the end of each kernel line, or just the one you mentioned? Glad I asked that question. I put it in the wrong place...... duh!! ..... I feel stupid now.
Fantastic!!!!!!! If I could thank you 400 times I'd certainly do it!!!! You just saved me a LOT of headaches sir. Works like a charm. Now, if I could get the bugs out of this ATI video card, I'd be flying high for sure. Thank you again and again !!!

Glad to have helped. If you make a separate post for the ATI problem, we'll try and resolve that as well.
