I had the acpi value wrong. It should be acpi=off .... :face+palm: Anyway, since I do need to have that off in order to see the DVD-RW, then I'll lose out all of the benefits of the ACPI. Per [1]: "When first published in 1996, ACPI evolved an existing collection of power management BIOS code, Advanced Power Management (APM) application programming interfaces (APIs), PNPBIOS APIs, and Multiprocessor Specification (MPS) tables into a well-defined power management and configuration interface specification." Since this is an 8 core system, I'd lose out more on MPS than the others. So why then with ACPI left out in the kernel parameters, my DVD-RW isn't shown in /dev when all the other detections are in place as shown in lspci and /var/log/messages?
