2001-(Ali chipset)mainboard with no ACPI because "from '97 and too old"!

The subject explains almost all. On my desktop, my mainboard (from 1st 
mainboards, with an AMI bios, if I don't remember badly) appears, on boot, as 
"from '97 and too old" so ACPI is disabled; see top of dmesg output (on 
kernel 2.4.22). On some older version of the patch(I've used the -ck patchset 
since kernel 2.4.20, and it included ACPI, and I've had it in the Mandrake 
9.0/9.1 kernel) my mainboard was correctly handled and ACPI didn't create any 
problems. All required data is attached. Please address any question on Cc: 
to me, since I'm not subscribed. Thanks.

Dmesg said:

<quote>
ACPI disabled because your bios is from 97                         and too old
You can enable it with acpi=force
</quote>

so reboot with kernel parameter acpi=force.
