I've found that this option fixes > many unbootable laptops - especially thinkpads. Hmm.. Yes, I think I have. Atleast it's in my device.hints file now - however I don't know if I tried docking it and booting without ACPI after I put that line in.. Perhaps I should try again, but my gut feeling tells me it's not gonna make any difference. Atleast as long as its undocked it had no effect on any of the other problems I'm experiencing. /Eirik --=.MG_Xn5t/'NtTf9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+9yV8dAvR8ct7fEcRAjb1AJ9U39bYN31xddNBuYob7xVhUYRJRwCfbm5O KUKCUepVav0IIO0F2D/N8H4= =CWv3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.MG_Xn5t/'NtTf9--
