I'm a Linux newbie, and I'm having problems with ACPI my Dell latitude d600 laptop I burned FC1 CD's from the ISOs online Everything installed, upgraded, and worked fine (including the 2.4.22-1.2129.nptl kernel) acpi is by default disabled. Works fine then. However, when acpi=on, I have problems. ##### Startup seems to go fine in the graphical mode. But immediately after logging in, the screen freezes. I can't do anything but force the computer off, by holding down the power button. Upon turning the computer on again, startup happens in text mode (or reverts back to text mode immediately after entering graphical mode) b/c of improper shutdown. I get two noticeable errors: 1) /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2129.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.o: init_module: No such device insmod: hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect modular parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg and 2) insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.o: init_module: No such device insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.o: insmod block-major-2 failed this time, (aside from these errors) everything seems to be working fine. (the battery monitor works!!!) I can log in, run applications, etc. The computer shuts down fine, too. But upon startup, I get the screen freezing again (back to ##### above) I ended up getting rid of (#2) by adding "alias floppy off" in /etc/modules.conf since I have no floppy. Hopefully, that doesn't cause major problems elsewhere. But I'm still having the problem with /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2129.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.o: which I'm assuming is causing my screen to freeze. Any advice would be much much much appreciated. I'd really like to have acpi enabled. Please help. ~satya __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
