How do you PERMANENTLY turn off ACPI?


I "had" power management problems and audio problems. When I hit f2 on the start up screen and typed ACPI=OFF, all my problems were gone! My power management now works and my sound is active. I do not want to have to hit F2 every time I logon and type acpi=off. Thanks

Recompile your kernel and unselect ACPI support as an option.

Don't wanna sound stupid, but how do I go about doing that?

Do I key in commands on the command line, or do I use YAST?

Unless you know what you're doing, don't screw with the kernel. You just need to give it a 'noapic' option.

If you're using GRUB, look for a line that looks something like this:
Quote:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 ro console=tty0
...and make it look something like this:
Quote:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 ro noapic console=tty0
If you have a 'kopts' line, you can just add it to that.
