ACPI: Interpreter disabled. Is this also blacklisted under CentOS 4, or better, would CentOS 4 be a solution for my problem?

You can try with the live CD. But I'd think that it also is disabled there.

thank you very much for your help. Now I have tried the CentOS 4.4 LiveCD with the following result.

# cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state state: open

I am happy, it works! But this also means that CentOS 4 must be installed on my already installed CentOS 5 notebook. I suppose to use a CentOS 4 kernel under CentOS 5 is not recommendable?
