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` . -- Robert

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 > You may be able to disable acpi with a kernel boot parameter > (given during boot) like `noacpi` . I assume that's done via grub loader. Does APCI only do power management or are there other things? -- "Oh, good morning, my little worker ants! That's just a figure of speech; I would NEVER compare you to insects.

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. -- Robert

I even knew some hardware basics, but the details like chipsets. :( >> I assume that's done via grub loader.
