hello,

I am running SUSE 9.3 on a Ferrari 4005 and it locks up on me at random...i cant use my mouse, keyboard...i tried ssh into my notebook from another computer and it would not let me...i would get no route to host...i tried booting w/o acpi and that didnt work bc it wouldnt boot w/ acpi=off....the only errors i get are these:

ACPI-0208: *** Warning: Error evaluating _BST
ACPI-0352: *** Error: Looking up [Z00I] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND
search_node ffff81003f846e00 start_node ffff81003f846e00 return_node 0000000000000000
ACPI-0446: *** Warning: [AE_NOT_CONFIGURED]: Could not resolve operands, AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI-1140: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.BAT1._BST] (Node ffff81003f846c80), AE_NOT_FOUND

Even if you could boot with no acpi, of course you would not have any acpi, which would suck on your laptop. Yo can give openSuse 10 Beta 1, I think it just came out, or will be shortly, but generally something lik that is more of a kernel defect and will happen across the board.

Arima(I am pretty sure they are the whitebox, but not 100%) isn't know for their linux friendly bioses, my m6805 had a special version (gentoo, mandrake, and others had a special emachines boot option) of the linux kernel just to get the thing to work for over a year until they released a new bios. Futhermore you probably will not get suspend to ram working anyway, another one of arima little quarks, the way the re-intialize ati videocards. Sorry, good luck. Oh I maybe wrong on all counts, they is no acounting for this stuff, but from my experience (since the redhat 8 days) this is what to except.

Are you by some chance running gkrellm. I and other have had issues with that. Never did find out why. Might want to see.

Acer designs and builds their own notebooks, from what I understand.

here's the link to some of the discussion http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?p=858586#post858586 What I and MMarkin ended up doing was to uninstall it. There is some goofyness that it does. Well actually ACPI is what's weird. It kind of explains it there.
