Thanks. Which mods did you do and can you share it?
BP is commonly used here on older Award BIOS. You run the program, it updates microcodes and implements some standard fixes from back in the day. There are three commonly used versions that I'm aware of: 4.23, 4.51B, and 6a9.

ACPI probably works fine for vintage computing purposes, but disabling it is standard operating procedure in our case... Last I remember, ACPI implemented IRQ sharing. I know that there are some boards that are used extensively and without issue for vintage computing where you cannot disable it (Asus P3B/CUBX/P5A) and they work perfectly fine, so I don't want any arguments from anyone about it... I am just saying it is 'better' not to use it. You make of that what you will.
