2.6.18 kernel, AMD 690S and ACPI
Gary Dale
that I've installed Debian/Etch on. Everything works fine, almost,
except for the ACPI function. If I set acpi=on or acpi=force, I get a
kernel panic when booting. If I set acpi=off, the machine doesn't turn
itself off when shutting down (and presumably other power management
functions are also blocked).
Any ideas?

Given the lack of info about the panic, all that I think can reasonably be
suggested is that you try 2.6.21 from testing/unstable and/or check for a
BIOS upgrade.

Oh, I couldn't afford a whole new brain.

Never mind. I switched to Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (2.6.20 kernel instead of
2.6.18 in Etch) and that resolved all the problems I had been having.
