			<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for the suggestion. It tried it and most of the messages are related to missing firmware. A couple are related to ACPI, though:</p><div class="codebox"><pre><code># dmesg | grep -i &quot;error\|warning\|fail\|segfault\|fatal&quot; | grep -i acpi

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I have a desktop computer with an Intel-based ASUS motherboard from 2009 that has the old-style BIOS. I was recently looking through the settings and noticed that ACPI 2.0 is disabled by default. Should I enable it or leave it the way it is? The computer shuts down, hibernates, and suspends normally, so I am inclined to leave it the way it is, but if there is a good reason to enable it, I will.</p>]]></description>
