Michaelcr79 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 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.

RainyShadow Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Check in BIOS setup if you have the option of changing ACPI version without turning it off. Or find how to use this: That's way beyond me, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMateczko Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).
