Bug 39534 – ACPI failed at startup, disabled proper function of fans...

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Mike Bordon 2004-01-26 21:09:47 UTC]

Upon loading of the Live CD, I typed "acpi dopcmcia" and there were a few error messages about ACPI modules not loading correctly. I didn't really think anything of it, but during kernel compilation by computer overheated.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. acpi dopcmcia
2. Use high CPU resources

Actual Results:  
My computer shut itself down and wouldn't power back up properly for a few 
minutes.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the proper ACPI modules (???) or loaded the APM modules if ACPI wasn't 
available.

Still present with the final 2004.0 Install-CD ?

the acpi or apm options are not available on the 2004.0 livecds because they are automatically detected.

Zhen, curious where they are automatically detected at?
Nothing in the runtime i created (autoconfig) does this.

I assumed that this was all taken care of in the kernel, but I could be wrong. Perhaps we are missing some options then?
