Hi,

Tested the special build of acpi, acpi319PollingFullOnly.zip for while on a test system, worked good. So decided to install it on the normal working system, problem is Pmmail 3.10 won't start. The icon gets the open status but that's all. Sometimes 100% cpu, sometimes the system just hangs. Changed the acpidaemon.exe to load in the startup.cmd (for using more than one time the suspend feature, mention on another ticket), made a stupid typo but then pmmail starts! As soon as acpidaemon is loaded pmmail won't start. Funny thinks:

• on the test system the same pmmail starts, but the test build has alot less programms to run.
• with the unofficial os2.ru kernel the normal working system works without a problem, even pmmail starts with acpidaemon.

Don't know if it helps if you have logs, let me know.

I installed acpi 3.19.15 to my eCS2.1 system and all seemded to be working fine - until I tried running some of my old DOS games in DOSBox.

DOSBox was working fine prior to installing acpi 3.19.15

Now DOSBox hangs/crashes immediately on starting.

To test that the problem is acpi I put REM at the front of the acpi line in the config.sys file - it is the only acpi related line in the config.sys as I do not use apm or acpidaemon - and rebooted.

Result: DOSBox works fine.

I then deleted the REM from the front of the config.sys line and rebooted.

Result: DOSBox hangs/crashes immediately on starting.

Mainboard/chipset involved: Asus M2N using nVidia nForce430/MCP61

ASUS A8N SLI Premium AMD 3800X2 NForce 4 chipset Award 6.0PG BIOS 3GB RAM.

System can now boot for first time in full SMP mode. However, it takes 30-50 secs to load all BASEDEVs, measured from BM to ACPI banner. Rest of config.sys loads normally. In /PIC or /VW mode (or without PSD) same takes 7-8 secs.
