Hi, these patches fix the problem the people encounter with mm2 : it add a pnp driver for floppy and i8042 (I don't touch the acpi driver as I was ask by the acpi people). The 2 others patches limit the devices that are add in the pnp layer. So now people could load other acpi driver. It is repported to work [1]. Please try it, so I could know if there no other acpi driver that are blocked. Thanks Matthieu [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109959238701702&w=2 PS : in the mm3, the acpi people remove the lock of the acpi device that are in pnp layer, so you can load a pnp driver and a acpi driver for the same device like before... So don't apply these patches on mm3 or use drivers/pnp/pnpacpi/core.c form mm2
