I have regularly upgraded antix-sid using smxi, and installed the newest sidux and mepiskernel. However when I try to use smxi with these newest kernels -after I shutdown grafical screen- it ends with the messages

ACPI:I/0 resource vt596_smbus conflicts with ACPI region SMOV (0x400-0x406)

. And then nothing happens anymore. However on the old MEPISkernel 2.6.27-1-mepis-smp, smxi just functions properly. Is there something I can do to make smxi work on the newest kernels?

Thanks in advance

Did you try booting to the console (append the number 3 to the boot line) and running smxi?

edit- also you could add acpi=off
So you press 'e' at the grub menu to edit the line, go to the line that begins with 'linux' and add to the end

Thanks, Secipolla!

I've added the line to the kernel parameters. It did not solve the problem with smxi though. Now I get a totally black screen when I shutdown desktop using the newest kernel. I have to continu my search I believe.

This may have nothing to do but...when you dist-upgrade with smxi do you get a lot of packages that 'will not be upgraded'?
I had this problem running antiX-sid and it was because of the Mepis repo so when I commented them in /etc/apt/sources.list smxi was able to dist-upgrade fully. If this is happening to you too then the upgrades may fix something.

Well, I think it's kernel related. I can stil use and upgrade AntiX with smxi with the old mepiskernel and only IceWM-package is not upgraded. Smxi just doesn't work with the newest kernels on my machine.

Hannes Worst, post this over at the smxi site. h2 would like to know what is going qrong I'm sure.
