     At the moment, CentOS is running with:

     Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ ide=nodma noapic acpi=off apm=off

     I just added the apm option at the last reboot because I was seeing 
errors in dmesg - not that it was causing any harm, but at the same 
time, i couldn't care less for apm on this machine.

     The one thing I'm noticing is, even though I have acpi=off, I still 
see this as well:

     ACPI Error (tbget-0168): Invalid address flags 8 [20060707]

     This machine has one on-board e100 and an add-in card with 2 e100 
on it.  That's what the above errors message are referring to.  If I 
remove the add-on card, the error message appears only once, referring 
to the on-board e100.  I swapped the card for a brand new one and the 
same 2 errors re-appeared (bringing the total to 3).  Card and on-board 
appear to be working just fine though ...
