| Anybody had any luck getting ACPI working on RHEL WS 3.0 x86??? I
downloaded the "unsupported" kernel off RHN, unpacked the source, set it
to compile in ACPI support and remove APM support. The machine boots,
but hangs when kudzu runs. If I skip kudzu, I get the gdm login screen,
but when I log into GNOME, I get a message that my session lasted let
than 10 seconds and I'm dumped out. When I log into KDE, it starts, but
it seems that nothing else will run. I click on Mozilla, for instance,
and the "Starting Mozilla" comes up with and hourglass icon. This stays
for about 30 seconds, then just disappears.
Any thoughts?

Why not using the RHEL3 kernel and pass him as boot parameter "acpi=on
apm=off" in grub.conf?

The RHEL3 kernel for x86 is compiled without acpi support, so passing
the parameter in grub.conf has no effect...

Oh, ok, this is a new information for me. Do you know the reason for this
issue?

Just that Red Hat doesn't consider ACPI for x86 ready for "prime time",
so it is left out as unsupported on the RHEL product right now. I
suppose we probably won't see a supported ACPI implementation for RHEL
until RHEL4... I can do without it, but it would be nice to have on the
laptop...
