Hi everyone,
I tried to do a remote install of a amd64-based server with some 6.1-BETA4 floppies.
As it turns, 6.1-BETA4 floppies do NOT contain a acpi.ko and therefore the amd64 may refuse to boot (heard sth. about boot-problems of amd64 boxes without acpi). The install would be remote and I need to overwrite the existing linux. So i wanted at least to be sure it will boot amd64.
I checked with 6.1-BETA4 floppy-images and indeed they do contain acpi.ko.
Will acpi.ko come back to the install floppies or has it been dropped intenionally?
Thx,
Patrick
