It obviously is screwing up ACPI because LINUX says the BIOS
isn't reporting power management capabilities for the Q6600 even
thouch ACPI, APM, SpeedStep, C1E, et.al. are all enabled in the BIOS.
no usb problems here I have two hubs, 2 mice, keyboard, usb drink cooler, SD/CF card reader, and an ipod. as for your ACPI troubles enable ACPI 2.0 in the power section of the bios. I get no such errors with several Linux install CDs. I don't have speedstep or C1e enabled. you might need to get a newer kernel and compile your kernel because it sounds to me like your running an old kernel.
