I'm sorry, but this is the Compaq Armada notebook and in its BIOS I can't disable even ACPI or this device :-((( Maybe it is possible in special "BIOS setup program" which can be load from Compaq rescue partition: however I remove this partition :-( I can only remove this device physically from notebook... But I have good news (maybe): when I switch off ACPI in the kernel config, I can work with PCMCIA w/o David's patch... (New kernel fetched from sgi CVS, because I have xfs on the root filesystem, version is 2.4.14-xfs) ;-)))) Thank you for advice... Sincerely Jan Marek -- Ing.
