[ACPI-sppt] ACPI on ASUS laptop

Hi

I took delivery yesterday of an ASUS s1300N laptop. I have got 2.4.22
and 2.4.24 kernels with latest acpi patches. (I am running Suse 9.0 -
the default kernel sucks with almost 100% keventd sucking the life out of
the thing).

If I boot with acpi=off they boot perfectly well, minus of course acpi
support! Also boot OK with acpi=ht.

However, with acpi=on, they just hang  after the "linux loading"
sequence.

dmesg says that the ACPI has wakeup address 0xc0001000.

I am completely flumoxed !  I have seen numerous docs claiming that the
S1300N is fine with ACPI, so either the BIOS in mine is different (?) or
I am being a complete prat. (I accept that the latter is highly likely!)

Any ideas ?

Cheers in advance
