Hello, I have just bought Compaq 572US laptop with AMD X64 dual core on board. I installed Debian Etch on it. After first reboot I experienced many problems with system freeze at many random moments. I had no idea what to do, as a blind shot I disabled acpi in boot parameters (acpi=off). Those problems disappeared and my system works for an hour fine (previously it was a question of minutes). I have read article about ACPI myths and found this e-mail address there. What steps would you suggest next in order to improve my system situation with ACPI?
