Notes and Observations:
TurboLinux: The ACPI linux kernel module is not supported. If you install with ACPI enabled, the system will halt when loading the ACPI module on bootup. Installation should be done without ACPI enabled within TurboLinux. SuSE: APM did not function, apm reports No APM support in kernel even when the modules are selected during install.
