Hello Dr. Watkins,
Thanks for your reply.
With acpi works. :)
I disabled CPU enumeration and moduled everything else in acpi.
Are you sayin' every unique system will require fiddelin' to get this to
work?
Once again thanks everyone.

J.
P.S. If anyone knows of some good acpi management software please let me
know.
