Hi, I passed apm=off to the kernel params because it seems that if you have both APM and ACPI when APM loads then ACPI gets disabled. I built my kernel with APM and ACPI support. So in order to get ACPI to work I have to disable APM support. I am running the latest kernel, 2.4.18-18.8.0 and I didn't apply any patches (actually just one to fix USB IRQ problem on this particular Sony Vaio laptop) I am not being very helpful here but I can only say that I tried with ACPI as a module and coudn't make it work. So that's why I now compile my kernel with ACPI built-in. I coudn't find any help on loading ACPI as a module, maybe that's what is missing, adding an entry in /etc/modules.conf, but what? Let me know if you are able to load ACPI as a module. Good luck, Pablo. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Iain Buchanan" <iain@pcorp.com.au> To: <psyche-list@redhat.com> Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 7:42 PM Subject: Re: acpi /proc problems Thanks for your response, On Fri, 2002-11-22 at 00:00, Pablo Ferro wrote: > I had the same exact problem with my laptop.

I just tried this and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Are there any more options that I've missed? I have /proc file system support of course. What kernel do you use and did you apply any related patches to it?
