| acpi on Asus M2N-E |

I hope this is where I should post this:
I have just recently installed eCS 2.0 RC4 on a computer with an ASUS
M2N-E mobo with BIOS 12.02. It runs reasonably well in non-SMP mode. But
I cannot get full use of the dual processors nor of ACPI.
When I boot with /smp /apic switches on acpi.psd, the system stops boot
after OS2ASPI.DMD is installed. If I rem out that base driver the system
stops booting as OS2SCSI.DMD, which is loaded just before OS2ASPI.DMD.
So I assume that the problem is with the next driver. That driver, as
far as I can see, is UNICODE.SYS. (Could this cause a problem?!)
The devices in the system are all built into the motherboard except:
Soundblaster Live 5.1 (the built in AC97 device is disabled)
Adaptec 2490 UW scsI adapter
Saphire X1650 (ATI) video card
I am using an old adaptec driver,(2002), the latest SB driver I can
find, and the Panorama VESA driver.
I have tried the acpi drivers that came with the RC4 install disk and
the latest acpi drivers from the mensys site. I have tried the acpi.cfg
directives
REMAP 17 TO 11 (for the adaptec driver)
REMAP 18 TO 5 (for the sb driver)

Thanks for the reply
The system works with the /pic switch...that is the default anyway. The
problem with that switch is that, at least on nVidia equipped boards, I
don't get to take advantage of the dual processor.
I believe I have already tried the switches suggested in the
documentation, with the exception of all the possible combinations of
the /DV:?? switch: I don't know what to look for with respect to Dummy
Vectors and the AMD CPU and there seems to be a very very large number
of combinations.

Thanks, I just tried it again and this time it worked. Don't know what

Naa, problem is that those dmd drvier and others loaded before, gets
initialized by the system at this point, and most likely there is a problem
with
apic here.
try /pic instead, and see if that helps.

This should work, if the adaptec driver is the problem.

Other switches might be needed for your specific hardware (MoBo).
Read the ACPI (SMP) doc files, and see if any of the switches matches your
hardware.
If non of that helps, get the info collector package from betazone,
open a ticket at the ACPI bugtracker, and attach the log files (zip)
to it.
