Guest ccbunney Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hi I am running Linux on an Acer 4101 (Pentium M) Laptop and am having trouble getting ACPI to work. I have downloaded and compiled 2.6.8.1-24 kernel with all ACPI/APM options, but when I type 'acpi' or 'acpid' or 'apm' it just says: "No ACPI support in kenel or incorrect acpi_path" It is the same for APM. Also, I also want to use the varialbe processor speed, but when I try and 'modprobe speedstep-centrino' it tells me: "Error inserting speedstep-centrino: ....... no such device" I don't understand whatthe problem is here .... all of this stuff was sdelected in the kernel options..... Any advice would be much appreciated. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ccbunney Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 ah! I think I have solved it! I changed the acpi=ht option in lilo to acpi=force and added noapic and it now boots and ACPI works! The only thing that does not work is the battery monitor - this is asomething to do with Acer using a SMART battery - I think it needs to be accessed via some other method.....I2O or something like that? My lilo.conf 'append' line now looks like this: append="noapic acpi=force resume=/dev/hda7" (NB: The resume partition will be machine specific) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_dispatcher Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 if you open a terminal and type: acpi -a What does it say? (acpi package needs to be installed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
