Gus Degreef The Severn beta *does* include ACPI. It's probably going to end up default-disabled but enablable with acpi=on because there are enough unexplained problems with enabling it by default everywhere, but the problems that we used to have where ACPI bugs were not worked around by turning off acpi at run time appear to all be gone. michaelkjohnson "He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book."
