Yes: it's the kernel process responsible for dealing with ACPI though,
which suggests that you haven't disabled ACPI in the kernel boot
process, and from following this thread you appear to want to.
To disable acpi completely during boot, add "acpi=off" to the kernel
parameters. Possibly you might get somewhere fiddling with:
acpi_sleep= [HW,ACPI] Sleep options
Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode }
See Documentation/power/video.txt
That's cut from Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt in the kernel
source.
With ACPI disabled, you may have to "modprobe apm" to get APM to work as
well. If you do need to do that you can add the module name
into /etc/modules so it gets loaded on boot.
Hope this is some help.
Cheers,
Andrew.
