ACPI won't load for me. Does the stock kernel include support for it? I
see a bunch of acpi options turned on in the kernel config, but I'm not
sure how to use them. 

I have a Sony VAIO, PCG-SR33. 

[root at piglet root]# modprobe thermal
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.o:
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.o: insmod
thermal failed

It runs very hot. I'd love to do something about it.
