Re: linux 2.5.16 and VIA Chipset

[mikeH <mikeH@notnowlewis.co.uk>]

Yeah, I have both these options enabled, but the config option is not 
appearing (and I have had it running fine in the 2.4 series ;).
The only mention of ACPI in .config is

# ACPI Support
#
#CONFIG_ACPI is not set

otherwise there is no mention. When I put that to


# ACPI Support
#
CONFIG_ACPI=y

make dep && make bzImage
results in

I havent done anything like copying the old .config from my 2.4 series 
kernel, this was a clean
tar jxvf linux-2.5.16.tar.bz2 && cd linux-2.5.16 && make menuconfig

Have I missed a step thats been introduced in the 2.5 series? I've only 
run 2.2 and 2.4 before, but I was hoping 2.5 might have fixed some of 
the VIA issues.
