Following is from dmesg:

vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0
unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources (port)
unknown: <PNP0f13> can't assign resources (irq)
unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources (port)
unknown: <PNP0700> can't assign resources (port)
unknown: <PNP0401> can't assign resources (port)

I've read and googled for days and the following is
what I'v either learned or think I've learned:

1. Can't use ACPI on here. Machine not capable, apparently.
    Hence, the following:

ACPI-0159: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not get RSDP, AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
ACPI-0213: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load tables: AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
ACPI: table load failed: AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES

2. Have apic enabled in kernel & no problems that I know of
3. I think I'm supposed to disable plug and play in the
    bios but I can't find any simple way to do it. There
    are some choices under the "Configuration" portion of
    the bios menu under
      ISA non-Plug-and-Play Devices
        List of Memory resources, all available, none reserved
        List of Interrupt resources, all available, none reserved
        List of DMA resources, all available, none reserved
        List of I/O resources, all available, none reserved

I have no idea how to match them up with the output of vga0
shown above, that is, to reserve the proper areas for its use.
I tried working with it the other night & wound up locking
the computer up rock solid. Would not boot. Had to pull the
cmos battery & put back & reset everything back to where it
had been to boot again. One of the first things I did after
reading in the mail archives, googling, etc., was to boot
to ACPI enabled, I assume which loads a kernel module instead
of it having to be compiled in. Have output of that error
message above too.
Any help would sure be appreciated. Tired of no sleep, trying
to figure this out.
