Andrew? > I just tried adding this to 2.4.1-pre11 and the compile failed, the problem i've been having with ACPI is the kernel soft-hangs just after loading the tables. Using APM or no power management at all doesn't hang. Hardware: Dell Inspiron 5000e, bios A04 (latest provided by Dell) I have heard of some bugs in Dell's ACPI implementation, but since so many people have dell machines it may be worth trying to work around, or even detect the buggy implementation and disable ACPI with an error printed. I can donate time if needed, just let me know what needs to be tested.
