Re: Tyan Tiger MP + 2.4.20

[Chris <kingsqueak@kingsqueak.org>]

I disabled APM and ACPI long ago with my Tiger MPX with dual MP
1600's.  Ever since I've had no issues at all with the box.  I had
random issues at boot mostly with ACPI enabled,  since I had no need
for either APM or ACPI I canned them both and things are just peachy
now.
