Hallo, There are so many issues reported during last 3 months, that I'm not sure, whether (or not) someone wrote about the problem. But few words anyway: I noticed, that using new kernels (tested 2.6.26 and 2.6.26.2), there are typical for ACPI-related problems troubles with responsitivity. For example: if I'm opening "bloated" web page using Opera, one can't move the mouse cursor smoothly around the screen; there is a "jitter" during the movement, and any output (like GKrellm's diagrams created in real time) for that 2-3 seconds is "frozen". As I've found googling around, these are rather typical ACPI-related problems, and indeed: forcing "acpi=off" was the cure. Additionally I noticed, that there are no such problems while using older kernel 2.6.25.2 - so something bad happened during the period "between" 2.6.25.2 and 2.6.26. Attached gzipped dmesg's messages; those described "aon" are with ACPI switched on, and - respectively - "aoff" with ACPI off. Tested under Debian Etch, Pentium III 700, mobo Gigabyte GA-6BX7 with newest BIOS available. -- pozdrawiam / regards Zbigniew Baniewski
