Hey all, I seem to be experiencing a rather annoying situation. I recently installed 5.2-RELEASE on my laptop, which went fine - in fact, so well that ACPI can now tell me how much time I have left on my battery!!! :) BUT (and there's always a 'BUT') I rebuilt my kernel with "oldcard" to use the pccard functionality I need. The sad bit is that the pccard slots are NOT detected when ACPI is enabled at bootup, but ARE enabled when ACPI is disabled at boot. How come? Is there a fix? Is it a bug? Will I have to spend the rest of my days either booting to use my network card, or booting to see how much time I have left with the battery? Look forward to your replies Phil. ---------------------------------------------------------- UNIX is user-friendly; it's just picky about its friends!!!
