Weird old Problem in SUSE

When I installed SUSE 9.3 for the first time all went OK. But the next morning when I woke up, I booted up the system and it gave me this error message below:

Linux kernel: ACPI-0484: Warning: **error getting cpuindex for acpiid 0X2
linux ifup: No configuration found for sit0
linux kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0


I asked everyone on different forums but no one seems to know what was the cause. I had no fix for this. The only way I fixed it is by reinstalling.

My question is, how can I prevent this from happening again and what was the cause of this issue in the first place?

I reinstalled Linux selecting WITH ACPI....(I think)  and no problems whatsoever.

So, what caused this errors? The only things I disabled is the SUSEFirewall2 and NFS. And the next morning the errors came.

What should I do to prevent this from happening again? And just incase it does happen again, how can I fix it?

The error messages did not let me login any furthur inorder for me to correct the problem. That was the problem.

What do the other error messages signify?

Ok, now if the ACPI is activated how can I disable it?

And also, does the Screensaver have anything to do with the ACPI?
