Well I can put the champagne away. Adding acpi=ht disables all acpi
functions except hyper threading, including stuff like battery
monitoring, etc., which on a laptop is pretty useful. So, I am stuck
between working battery or working sound, WTF!!!! I tie this all down to
the POS phoenix BIOS on this thing, IF you can call it a BIOS, it is SO
simplistic it's not funny. I did see in the interrupts that the hda
intel device is the only device listed as PCI-MSI and not IO-APIC like
everything else. If anyone knows of some easy tricks for apic or apci
for the kernel boot options, please let me know (no way I'm attempting a
kernel recompile, as seems that most googleage suggests). Some magic
command line that would make the sound and battery work in this thing
would be wonderful.
