ACPI hangs on boot with K7SEM MoBo and Adaptec SCSI card

ACPI hangs on boot with K7SEM MoBo and Adaptec SCSI card

[Petr Konecny]

Hi,

I just got ECS K7SEM motherboard. ACPI power saving is enabled in BIOS
and works in linux (at least halt turns the box off). However when I
plug in Adaptec SCSI (2940AU) the machine hangs during boot after
loading ACPI core subsystem. The last message is:
ACPI: core subsystem version [20011018]

I have 2.4.19-pre2-ac3 with both ACPI and APM compiled in.  I am booting
with apm=off (otherwise acpi does not load).

It's not really critical, since apm works too. I just thought I would
have access to all the acpi goodies like temperature of the CPU.

                                                Take care, Petr

I just noticed yesterday that there is something wrong with acpi on this
board, which I had running. However it didnt list an irq for the serial
when acpi was enabled, and running with a serial console it hung when
acpi tunred on (with no messages to the serial console, unhelpfully). The
same is probably happening with the scsi card. Havent looked into why.

You can get temperatures with lm_sensors. I think the module is it87 if I
remember correctly.
