One of the possible solutions suggested was to add "acpi=off" at the end of the line for that Kernel. I did that, after powering the box off and then back on, and it is working: [lanny at dell2400 ~]$ uname -a Linux dell2400.homelan 2.6.18-92.1.1.el5 #1 SMP Sat Jun 21 19:04:27 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Which configuration file do I edit, to make that change?
