Known issues with nForce4-4x chipset and recent kernels?

[Matthias Saou]

ARGH!!!!

I can't believe I've waisted two days on this one... I think I tried
"noacpi", but maybe it doesn't work and "acpi=off" does?

Anyway, that was it. I suppose the FC3 kernels don't have ACPI enabled by
default, which would then explain.

Don't you just hate it when these kind of things happen... and I thought
only laptops had broken ACPI implementations :-(
