    Cannot make ACPI work.

    Hi all,

    I recently installed Mandrake 10.1 in my laptop HP ze4600us. When ACPI is enabled my computer gets frozen in a blank screen when booting. I check ACPI is installed but the directory '/proc/acpi' does not exist. I tried to add "acpi=yes" or "acpi=ht" in my 'lilo.conf' and after type "lilo -v" but didn't work out. I don't know what to do, can any one help?

    If that bothers you maybe you should reinstall it and choose bare.acpi as kernel.

    It will choose it for you. You can just choose to append acpi in your bootloader if you want to use it.
    There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
