ACPI problem

st3reo · 09-12-2006, 04:34 AM

Hey,

I'm running a RHEL 4 box, but when I was looking around in the dmesg file I noticed a lot of issues concerning ACPI.
So my question is: exactly what happenes if I just turn off the ACPI Daemon and stop it from coming up at boot?

Thanks

nothing only all of your acpi events won't be recognized anymore and maybe your system stops booting.
Better check on how to solve those issues that show up within /var/log/messages

I see, well in that case maybe someone can help with that.
Here's some output from dmesg:

Code:

hw_random: RNG not detected

As far as I can see it has something to do with PCI Express
The video card is on PCIE
Anyone know how to fix that, and is that a serious error or can it be ignored in last instance?

Thanks,
