- This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER

Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
APM in your BIOS).
- Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
- "weird" problems:
-
- 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
- enabled.
- 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
- 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
- the "no387" option to the kernel
- 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
- 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
- all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
- 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
