Hi
Just recently got a Compaq Presario 700 series laptop, which does
things entirely by ACPI and not APM. I tried to compile 9.0's kernel
but ran into trouble.
1) make xconfig
Here are the things that I changed from the default values:
Processor type and features > Processor Family : from 586 to
athlon/duron/k7
Processor type and features > Local APIC support on uniprocessors: from
'yes' to 'no'
General Setup > ACPI support > from 'no' to 'yes'
and all the other ACPI options in General Setup from 'no' to 'yes'
2) make dep
3) make clean
4) make bzImage
5) make modules
6) make modules install
This process exits with these last couple of lines:
<snip>
make -C arch/i386/lib modules install
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/arch/i386/lib'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules install'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/arch/i386/lib'
cd /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkcustom; \
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{}
pcmcia if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map
2.4.19-16mdkcustom; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkcustom/kernel/drivers/hotplug/ibmphp.o
depmod: IO APIC get PCI irq vector
</snip>
It must be possible to build the kernel with ACPI, but without APIC as
I have seen numerous website who suggest doing just that. Is this
something specific to the mandrake kernel? Maybe I'll try the stock
one.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I owned a Toshiba Satellite until recently that depended on acpi for IRQ
routing and found that I could only get things running smoothly if I
compiled a vanilla kernel,with the latest acpi patch from sourceforge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi) None of the standard distribution
kernels seemed to do the job fully and it is difficult to get suitable
patches for them, so I would just compile your own.Using the options you
mentioned should then be fine, I think.

My toshiba sat had the same problems until I moved to cooker. Cooker
kernel (2.4.20-2) has acpi on by default and works great. Stable as hell
even though it is a development release. Worth a try and no more kernel
recompiles.
I've installed cooker and 9.0 on the laptop. Unfortunately cooker locks hard
early in the boot process (It's got something to do with an IRQ, IIRC), even
before logging begins. Apparently with the presario 700 series you have to
disable APIC in the kernel though, i tried booting with 'noapic' and with
ACPI enabled, but that locked up as well. I tried recompiling the cooker
kernel to suit my needs, but ran into trouble rather early in the process
(during make bzImage), anyway I'll post that to the cooker list.
Thanks for the help, I'll try recompiling a standard kernel, I just hope it
plays nicely with the rest of the system.

Do you make mrproper as the first step? Move .config out of the way if
you want to use it or use /boot/config but mrproper should be the first
step.
