ACPI and Intel 945G

I'm installing eCS on a computer with Intel 945G chipset. ACPI 3.08 
traps at boot time. If I don't use ACPI, then audio adapter makes a 
looping sound. (I think the looping sound is due to an IRQ conflict.)

I've submitted a bug report -- does anyone else have a similar problem
(same Intel chipset?)

Neil,
Please provide more about your hardware.  e.g., System, # processors, 
etc.  Also, what switches on the PSD=ACPI.PSD statement?  Which APM driver?

I have the 945G in a TPad T60, Core Duo - both processors active, using 
ACPI V3.08 with no problems that I can attribute to either the graphics 
adapter nor to ACPI.  The key [I think] statements that I have in 
Config.Sys:
     PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /EIS  /ALS
     BASEDEV=APM.ADD
     RUN=O:\OS2\ACPIDAEMON.EXE

Question: Why "PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /EIS  /ALS" instead of
  "PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /APIC"


Also, I notice that my config.sys (T60 with RC4) has the following 
statements:
PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /APIC
REM DEVICE=J:\OS2\BOOT\APM.SYS
REM DEVICE=J:\OS2\MDOS\VAPM.SYS
BASEDEV=APM.ADD
RUN=J:\OS2\ACPIDAEMON.EXE

Question: Why "PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /EIS  /ALS" instead of
  "PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /APIC"

Also, the REM'd lines above were REM'd by an installer not me since I 
always use lower case on rem's.

As a certified PC Technical Dummy, I'm probably not the best one to give 
a lot of advice.  I only know my own experiences.  I could not get my 
TPad to work without the above combination of statements and switches.

Specifically:
*  You are probably right about Core 2 Duo versus Core Duo.  I think the 
only difference is that the Core 2 can optionally run in 64-bit, while 
my Core Duo cannot.  Certainly, with only one processor, you should be 
OK, but I've used two processors since the very beginning.

*  I could not get a stable environment without the APM.ADD [*not* the 
APM.SYS] BASEDEV.

*  The install of ACPI uses a slightly different way of invoking 
ACPIDAEMON.EXE.  Very early in my long list of trial and error attempts, 
Lewis Rosenthal suggested the above is the more proper way to start the 
process.  I don't know why, but I'm not arguing with success.

Good luck...

Thanks for the reply, Carl.

I have no switches, and no APM. Keeping things really simple, I think.
It's a Core 2 Duo processor, and it makes no difference if I switch 
off one processor in BIOS. I doubt ACPI.PSD is getting so far before 
it crashes. I see that there are other people with this crash that 
have submitted bug reports.
