No, but I am doing now...

Btw now I have remote console this is what the BIOS shows....

   1024 MB Detected

etc...

Boot without ACPI is show at http://scorpion.sorbs.net/dmesg-noacpi.txt

kern.smp.maxcpus: 16
kern.smp.active: 0
kern.smp.disabled: 0
kern.smp.cpus: 1
kern.smp.forward_signal_enabled: 1
kern.smp.forward_roundrobin_enabled: 1

I'm going to recompile the kernel again - with the current config - just 
to prove it's there...
