How do I find out what in the kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC4 is disabling acpi?

Thanks for the hints so far.

Just updated to 2.6.17-1.2141_FC4 and it is also disabling acpi.


Which is one of the many reasons I no longer use Fedora/Red Hat supplied
kernels. A quick edit may fix your problem;


A sample grub kernel line entry that you can try;

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2141_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb acpi=on apm=off

Notice the apci and apm portions. As a suggestion copy the current entry for
the new kernel and change the name slightly and apply the changes as per
the example.

acpi=on did not work. However, after several days of poking around doing before and after compares I found something that works.

I added an acpi=force kernel parameter. ACPI loaded and shutdown now powers off the box.

Yeah!

I spotted the work-around in another thread where it is used to get around the ACPI BIOS age cutoff.

Not sure what happen after 2.6.11, though.

Your hint helped.
