98se and ACPI 2.0...

I have to install Windows 98 SE via setup /p i and it's a pain considering I have to turn ACPI off in the bios.

Would be nice if there was a kernel patch for 98se that would fix ACPI.  Then I could go back and forth between

XP and 98se without futzing with ACPI in the bios.

Huh? You don't have to change ACPI settings in BIOS to make setup /p i work correctly. It will simply not use ACPI at all.

I don't have options to turn off ACPI on my ASRock H110M-DVS R3.0 motherboard BIOS yet Windows 98 SE installs just fine :)

In my experience, using /p i also disables APM.

It does not. :no:  But there are boards having just ACPI, and on those boards one can get without both ACPI (because of /p i) and APM (because there was none to start with).
