Many newer systems use ACPI for PCI configuration and interrupt routing. Without these functions, you don't have a bootable system. Thee was a post earlier today mentioning that the new ASUS P4 mobo requires ACPI to boot. I suspect that this is rapidly becoming the norm for new motherboard BIOS implementations. -- R.
