Asus A8N-E motherboard, AMD dual-core CPU, ATI X1050 video, Adaptec U160 SCSI adapter.

It works if I add the /!NOD parameter to the PSD=ACPI.PSD line, but none of the ACPI utilities work.

A few versions ago I was instructed to remove the /!NOD parameter that I had been using, and that allowed the machine to work. But now the only way to get it to work with the latest ACPI is by reinstating the /!NOD parameter. But the .docs say that if I have the /!NOD parameter I need the line

BASEDEV=ACPICA.ADD

but there is no new version of that file with ACPI 3.01 and 3.02. If I use the one from 3.00 the utilities do not work. If I COPY ACPICA$ ACPICA.LOG I get an empty file.

Prompted by a discussion on one of the eCS newsgroups, I tried my Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe system (nVidia nForce 570) with PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /PIC and was surprised to find that it works, despite the instructions in ACPI docs. that such systems must run in APIC mode.

Further information:

The machine runs with /SMP /APIC, but the LSILogic SCSI adapter is then inaccessible. I have tried REMAPping the SCSI adapter's high IRQs (17 and 18) to low IRQs, but without success: the SCSI adapter is still not recognized.

Using /SMP /APIC /!NOD enables the SCSI adapter, but I have been told that this is the equivalent of running in /PIC mode anyway.

My Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe machine (nVidia) still needs /!NOD to enable the LSILogic SCSI adapter. I've tried REMAPping the SCSI adapter's IRQs, but either I'm doing it wrong or ACPI 3.11 still isn't up to the task.
