Michael, it probably would have been better to have left this in the other
thread because it really is a continuation of your original problem and
that way, others could have the full story. Remember I warned you that
there were no guarantees with an APT pinning downgrade from a mixed system.
Because you had that mixed system and what you tried (downgrade) is not
really supported, this current problem could be related.
Sorry about that, Thorny. I posted this as a separate thread because I thought it could be a different problem in lenny and I metioned what happened in my case. Actually everything works fine after I downgrading from my mixed system by pinning packages. Most of packages are downgraded to lenny version and few still remains in testing version. But the system is running very well without any problems.
I have to admit that I did one more step after that. To get a pure lenny dist, I performed a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' which upgrades the kernel as well, from 2.6.24 to 2.6.26. That's when I found the problem of acpid. Then I went back to .24 kernel, the problem still exists. That's why I thought if it could be problems related to lenny dist.

Presumably, you upgraded to that 2.6.24 kernel while your system was Etch
because you need some functionality that it provided. It would be good if
you could remember (or check your system log) if anything else had to be
upgraded at the time you did the original upgrade to 2.6.24.
I'm not clear what you mean by "didn't get through" but it probably
doesn't matter, a squeeze version won't necessarily solve your problem.

If it were my system, I would try a newer kernel, the one from the release
version of Lenny. It might work better with the version of acpid that you
now have.
