Re: ACPI and Linksys 10/100 PC Card (ed1)

[Henry Kleynhans <henry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the response.  I currently have disabled ACPI across the 
board and that seems to work fine.  I will try and get some verbose 
output from my bootup with ACPI enabled (busy investigating how to get 
all the debug info required) and send that in with my ACPI tables.  I 
should have a moment to do that tonight.

I assume that if I want to enable some verbose options I use the same 
method you described to boot with the -a option?

I am also in the process of upgrading to the latest base system.  Maybe 
that helps.

Thanks again for the assistance.  On the side.  I am very impressed with 
DragonFly.  Keep up the good work!

Kind regards,

Henry
