That is correct, however I was under the impression that the severn kernel would choose correctly between acpi and apm WITHOUT having to add acpi=on on the kernel boot line. It did work for me with beta1 but no longer with test2.

Beta1 Release notes: <quote> The Red Hat Linux 9.0.93 kernel includes support for ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). When booting the Red Hat Linux installation program from CD (and booting the installed system) this kernel uses ACPI on some systems (depending on certain factors such as whether the hardware supports ACPI and the date of its BIOS ACPI implementation). ACPI is used for device enumeration (but not for sleeping). You can disable ACPI by using the following boot option:
acpi=off </quote>
Beta2 Release notes: <quote> The Fedora Core 0.94 kernel includes support for ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). By default, ACPI support is disabled; it can be enabled by using the following boot-time option:
acpi=on
When enabled, ACPI is used for device enumeration, but not for sleeping or reducing power consumption. </quote>

Good thing cpufreq is enabled by default, with all processor drivers available as modules - e.g. modprobe speedstep-centrino for Pentium-M notebooks.

Note that if you boot with acpi=on, you can also modprobe processor and all the other acpi modules.
