 	I've been a little more fortunate on the ACPI front - I've had
 	one AMD Athlon Shuttle which choked on boot and one old PII which
 	seemed have have a pathological kernel memory under 2.x but all
 	my other i386 boxes (including a non SMP Asus A8V) run ACPI
 	kernels. In some cases (laptops etc), the ACPI actually works
 	much better than non. Not running any amd64 kernels yet... :)
