So, you need to insert in your /etc/grub.conf at the line, where you see something like: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ noapic rhgb you add at the end acpi=on, so you will have something like kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ noapic rhgb acpi=on it didn't work for my hp xt1000 either before i did this... cheers, roger
