Interesting.
For the record, I don't mind running with acpi=off, but it's very weird to me that new kernels suddenly stopped working without it.
From the fact that I maintain my own kernel builds, you may infer how much
faith I put in distro supplied kernels (any distro, not singling any specific distro out).
If you are interested, I'm more than happy to share my src.rpm for 4.9.x, but won't be able to get to it before tomorrow morning as the machine was recently mothballed.
Thanks. I actually need to test with as new of a version as I can because I have been experiencing an occasional "page allocation failure" kernel panic. No idea if/when that was fixed but I figure the newest version is my best hope.
I've been on my own 4.9.x more or less since I got the machine, it was in 24/7 use, and I never experienced that issue. So it may be worth a cross-check with the kernel that I'm running to see whether the fault follows your machine or whether it is kernel dependent.
