Hi James,
It tooks me more than a week to fine tune my new FC5_64 box. Now I can
use onboard LAN, onboard sound and adding a PCI-E card without
suffering from PC hanging.
DSDTs are part of the BIOS interface to ACPI (Advanced Configuration
and
Power Interface). BIOS ACPI implementations are notoriously buggy,
and
can easily crash kernels. So you may need to turn that off (noacpi --
you'll lose hardware power-off).
Poweroff without PC power-off is one of the remaining problem on this
FC5_64 box. The cause is adding "noacpi" on kernel option at boot.
Without adding it PC will hang frequently. I don't know whether
upgrade BIOS will be its solution. OR there is other remedy.
Any suggestion? TIA
B.R.
