Hi folks,
I'm having trouble installing Slack 10.2 on my recently bought amilo 1425 laptop... It installs fine actually, but after that i'm experiencing all sorts of problems with ACPI... Originally I used the 2.4.31 kernel on the CD, with ACPI enabled - everything was fine, the fan wasn't spinning all the time, the laptop was stable, however non of the "laptop features" like suspend, cpu throt. and so on worked.. Also, I noticed that klaptop couldn't detect properly whether the mashine was running on battery or ac power. The power meter, however, displayed the battery level correctly. Since I had problems installing the wireless drivers as well, I decided to upgrade to a 2.6 kernel. I downloaded 2.6.13 and compiled it, however ACPI support got even worse! Now klaptop is showing all kinds of crap, status keeps changing between "running on battery", "charging", "running on ac - no battery", "no power source".... This makes using the battery level alerts impossible, because it constantly logs me out of X because of "low battery"...
If anyone has a cure for this, I would be very thankfull

Cheers,
Boyan
