that's correct. I had seen:

:: ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory

but I had missed:

:: module_path=/boot/modules

*GNA* when did I fail to update this on that host:( Thanks for
pointing out. Will update it once I can re-get access to the machine.
lost ethernet and it's at the other end of the house w/o console atm.

another question - why would this work (acpi.ko preloading) if I do a
# unload acpi
the time acpi is not yet loaded and module_path still wrong ? funny
thing.

ok. then I do have my workaround though I'd like it to also work
in the other case too but I suppose there isn't much I can do with
a long time EOS board.
