o The Fedora Core 0.94 kernel includes support for ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface). By default, ACPI support is disabled;
it can be enabled by using the following boot-time option:
acpi=on
When enabled, ACPI is used for device enumeration, but not for sleeping
or reducing power consumption.
NOTE: The ACPI subsystem results in a kernel too big to fit on a
diskette; therefore, the kernel placed on boot diskettes does not
include ACPI support. In addition, because of these size issues,
emergency boot diskettes will not work. You must use rescue mode from
the installer instead of an emergency boot diskette.
That should answer your question. :-)
