I'm running 2.6.22, I get no HPET. >>From looking at the kernel source, the HPET driver is looking for PNP0103. I see no PNP0103 entry on my machine, just PNP0100. Searching around, it looks like kernels running on other RS480 systems are finding HPETs. http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2007/03/26/215 Do I need to get Acer to update the BIOS to include a PNP0103 entry? Is there some way I can force this?
