I didn't try kernels between 2.4.0 and pre8, so I'm not sure when it broke. I suppose I could try to narrow down exactly which pre patch started to show the problem. Actually, looking back at /var/log/messages, it's even worse than I originally said. It looks like for at least some early builds of 2.4.0 I was getting: Jan 5 16:39:18 jhereg kernel: ACPI: System description tables found Jan 5 16:39:18 jhereg kernel: ACPI: System description tables loaded Jan 5 16:39:18 jhereg kernel: ACPI-0281: *** Error: Ns_search_and_enter: Bad character in ACPI Name Jan 5 16:39:18 jhereg kernel: ACPI-0281: *** Error: Ns_search_and_enter: Bad character in ACPI Name Jan 5 16:39:18 jhereg kernel: ACPI: Subsystem enable failed Although for later 2.4.0 builds it worked OK. I wonder what could be doing this? About the only things I played with during 2.4.0 builds was updated reiserfs and LVM patches. -- David M.
