Is there any way to _disable_ acpi all together? I tried doing it from the boot menu (using unload and disable-module), rummaging through the /boot forth scripts also yielded no success, but it still gets loaded. Eventually just deleting the module made my box boot on. My CURRENT machine is a Compaq Presario 17XL380 laptop. Is the ACPI on that machine broken or misfeatured? Any info I can provide to help?
