None of these really look like ACPI . It might well be compiled
into the kernel. Recompiling a kernel is actually very easy,
but reconfiguring the kernel is a bit difficult.

You may be able to disable acpi with a kernel boot parameter
(given during boot) like `noacpi` .

I remember reconfiguring Kernel during Red Hat days. Oh my goodness,
that was a such a pain to reconfigure since I had NO idea what each part
was for! So I never touched it again. :D

I assume that's done via grub loader. Does APCI only do power management
or are there other things?

As I said, a bit complex. It helps if you know _exactly_ what
hardware you have.

Yes, holdint [TAB] or some other key during boot should
bring up a command line.

APCI only does power, but that has tenticles into many
hardware devices.

No, ACPI is also involved with hardware configuration: Advanced
*Configuration* & Power Interface.

Yeah. I even knew some hardware basics, but the details like chipsets. :(

Sheesh, so complex.
