Hi, Ok, it appears that I have 2.4.1-pre10 working properly again. Looks like the changes Andy made to the acpi_idle stuff was the problem. I made the change Andy suggested on the acpi list, namely commenting out the line "pm_idle = acpi_idle;" at the bottom of /usr/src/linux/drivers/acpi/cpu.c, which seems to fix the problem. This patch makes it clear what I did: --- linux/drivers/acpi/cpu.c.orig Mon Jan 29 15:19:21 2001 +++ linux/drivers/acpi/cpu.cMon Jan 29 15:22:14 2001 @@ -329,12 +329,5 @@ acpi_pm_timer_init(); -#ifdef CONFIG_SMP - if (smp_num_cpus == 1) - pm_idle = acpi_idle; -#else - pm_idle = acpi_idle; -#endif - return 0; } -Harold -- "Life sucks, deal with it!" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Hi Linus, Sorry to bother you. I'm trying to find where you uploaded linux-2.4.1-pre11. I was on ftp.kernel.org and ftp.us.kernel.org and could not find it in the /pub/linux/kernel/v2.4 or /pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/test-kernels/ directories. Is it somewhere different? Also, Alan, I grabbed your patch-2.4.0-ac11.gz file from your directory on ftp.kernel.org. Does this contain the updated VIA IDE support that Linus was talking about in the 2.4.1-pre11? I'm thinking either kernel.org hasn't posted the 2.4.1-pre11 or I totally misunderstand the directory layout on kernel.org.

Andrew's latest ACPI fixes (acpica-linux-2125 patched against 2.4.0) compile fine here and don't hang on my Vaio after loading tables. That's a start. I'll play around some more.

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.
