That is with exception of the ACPI detection. The ACPI detection did detect that I have an Compaq Armada, and it does detect my primary battery, however it seems to go on probing for more batteries, and seems to have some problems detecting the ac power something as well where it simply say done on the 7th try. These three problems delay the bootup with 2 minutes+ which is quite anoying... How can I disable the probing of additional bateries, or how am I supposed to use the dump function to resolve the problems myself?
