I am able to get ACPI 3.0.7 working for both CPU cores, as well as APM.ADD. What version(s) of ACPI did you test, and aside from the "hang during boot" issue I see with 3.0.8, what were your results? I am seeing random deadlock conditions, but I can't tell whether it's an ACPI issue, uniaud, GenMAC, or something triggered by Flash (using my patched 9.0.115 plugin). TIA I just tried the latest 3.08 (04/13/2008). Traps in APM right after SDDHELP.SYS is loaded. It also displays a bunch of ACPI messages that should not be there. If I rem out all of the APM lines, it will boot. I also have sound (not very loud) using test1. I am using Panorama on this T61. I believe Panorama is required for APM. I have 3.0.8 working, based on Neil's posting about the Intel 945GCNL (I have one of those machines in the next room, which is yet to be delivered to a client), by adding /SAP:0x20 to my PSD line, which now reads: PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /APIC /SAP:0x20 In addition, I have: BASEDEV=APM.ADD RUN=C:\OS2\ACPIDaemon.exe I am currently testing with only the defaults in the CFG files. The extra info you;re getting may be caused by: LogScreen = 1 in %ETC%\ACPID.CFG For sound, I have the following in my unimix setup params, loaded from startup.cmd (unimix.exe -loadc:\mmos2\unimix.ini): -id3 -cnt0 -val1 -id3 -cnt1 -val1 -id27 -val33 (N.B.: Those are not the contents of unimix.ini, merely the relevant settings. Set them manually, as parameters passed to unimix.exe, and then use unimix.exe -savec:\mmos2\unimix.ini to dump them.) I attempted to patch Flash to the 9 level, but I am not sure that I did the hex edit correctly. What is your patched one based on? Might I get a copy? My patched one is based on the original 7.0 r14. I seemed to get more stuff patched than Steve Wendt did with his, so I kept it (I had a few sites which were looking for the ident string in different places). You may download the patched version (and the preceding one, patched to 9.0 r47) from http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eCS-Technical/files/ . The zip is 500+ KB, and perhaps best not attached to an email on the list. I'll send both via PM, though. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
