  • win2k and acpi

    Ok, I've just spent the last few hours reinstalling w2k to use the acpi hal and have a few tips for others. First of all read these kb articles to understand a little about how w2k determines acpi. <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q216/5/73.ASP">Q216573</a>
    <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q224/8/26.asp?LNG=ENG&SA=ALLKB">Q224826</a>
    and the <a href="http://www.teleport.com/~acpi/">acpi home page</a>. First make sure you have latest bios update and yours can do acpi. And then if the w2k Txtsetup.sif does not list your bios as a good bios you can change it to force acpi. btw, I have the abitbx6r2 and it wasn't listed so I had to force it. As I was writing this I decided to test it out. I did a standby and my pc went into standby mode. I went and got a drink came back and hit the power button and it came back alive and the workstation was auto locked. Pretty cool stuff!
    irq settings with acpi:
    1 - keyboard
    6 - floppy disk controller
    7 - Matrox Millennium G400 DH
    7 - Intel PCI to USB Host Controller
    7 - Vortex Multifunction PCI Parent
    7 - Aureal Vortex Audio
    7 - Adaptec 2940u2w
    7 - 3com 3c905b-tx
    8 - system cmos/rtc
    9 - microsoft acpi-compliant system
    13 - numeric data processor

    If only life were as easy as you
    I would still get screwed
