>Description:
	I just loaded 5.2.1 on a Netfinity 7000 M10 box.  I made sure
	the BIOS was at the latest level (1.05).  The release
	notes for the BIOS state that 1.05 includes changes to ACPI
	to work with Windows 2000, so I assume it has ACPI.  However,
	the boot messages include the following:
	    ACPI-0159: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not get RSDP, AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
	    ACPI-0213: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load tables: AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
	ACPI: table load failed: AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES
