I am going to trim this up a little.

/SAP             Set startup ACPI options
                    default value: 0
                      /SAP:0x0

                    you can assemble this values:
                    ACPI_FULL_INITIALIZATION        0x00
                    ACPI_NO_ADDRESS_SPACE_INIT      0x01
                    ACPI_NO_HARDWARE_INIT           0x02
                    ACPI_NO_EVENT_INIT              0x04
                    ACPI_NO_HANDLER_INIT            0x08
                    ACPI_NO_ACPI_ENABLE             0x10
                    ACPI_NO_DEVICE_INIT             0x20
                    ACPI_NO_OBJECT_INIT             0x40

I think it means that ACPI should not run around and try to play with 
the devices.

I had some problems with Panorama and went back to SNAP.  It is a bear 
to kill the Panorama driver.  Had to do a good old Alt+F1 and reset to 
VGA (really ugly).

I have found that Kubuntu can access my eCS JFS volumes without any 
problem.  Much easier than fiddling with FAT32.

My only camera card is an XD.  Reads fine in WinXP.  Is not recognized 
in eCS or Kubuntu.  I did go out and download what is supposedly Linux 
support for the Lenovo Smart Card reader, but it did not seem to help.

Try the /SAP:0x20 parm
