Hmm, yes, just there on TP21; during boot I get:"Starting acpid: acpid:
ACPI is not present".
I'm using the 2.4.2-pre1 build and fiddled with some ACPI settings
building it as modules or into the kernel, replaced the acpi code with
the INTEL stuff but still no go....
APMD works great BTW, suspend/hybernate-sound-network-X-->all fine.
Anyone experienced in a succesfull APCI build on TP's?
