all right, here my situation.
I compiled a new kernel ("the debian way" yes I'm running debian). I can't boot into my computer with ACPI on. But my CPU has not PST tables, so it has to fall back on ACPI. The dilemna obviously being I can't boot in with ACPI, but I need ACPI. Any ideas? yes I've been to
www.codemonkey.org.uk and the only thing it says is that it doesn't work on somelaptops so you have to fall back on ACPI. is there an APM version? is there a way to get ACPI working on my computer?
