Hi all
I just upgraded from RH9 to FC4. The the distribution CDs I used
provided 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.
The upgrade was successful and I was happy to see ACPI actually power
off my machine when I did a shut down. Something I had missed when I
went from XP to RH9.
My next step was to upgrade using yum. This jumped me to
2.6.17-1.2139_FC4. ACPI was now disabled in boot up.
How do I find out what happened?
Here is my lsmod and filtered dmesg on the 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 kernel
below. Note that no *_acpi modules are loaded. The ibm_acpi module
reports "ec object not found", though. The button module is active and
shutdown does power down the box. The motherboard, I am not sure what
it is. The box is a HP Pavilion 9695C. The closest I can get to a
specification for the motherboard is:

with AMD Athlon Processor and an AMD Irongate (AMD-751) Chipset".

ibm_acpi: ec object not found
Well I found something that works.
I added an acpi=force kernel parameter. ACPI loaded and shutdown now
powers off the box.
Yeah!
I spotted the work-around in another thread where it is used to get
around the ACPI BIOS age cutoff.
Not sure what happen after 2.6.11. I'll try to let the ACPI project know
this occurred.
