ACPI 20020829 and kernel 2.4.19-4GB #1 Fri Sep 13 13:14:56 UTC 2002 i686 on Gericom Supersonic M6T
Hi, I have an Gericom M6T and I just installed SuSE 8.1.
If u add pci=acpi to the bootparam, acpi is working nearly acceptable :
- acpi events are not raported anymore
- when i start /stop acpid (at the time of acpi modules insertion) the complete system crash
I tried to compile a original 2.4.19 kernel (from kernel.org) and patch this kernel with acpi-20020918-2.4.19.diff.
After that, acpi is working very well, but ... I don't have the exotic features of SuSE anymore (PCMCIA driver is not the last one and is not stable enough, SuSE hardware autodetection is not working too .... , grub, orinocco wireless card neither).
So, hopefully somebody in this list has a patch for the SuSE 8.1 kernel. The most stable acpi for Gericom Supersonic M6T is acpi-20020918.
Should I address this question to another list ?
If yes, on wich list ?
With all my respect

... completely the same issue on my Suse 8.1 (Acer Travelmate Notebook)

Why didn't you try a more recent kernel+acpi-patch?
I'm now using 2.4.20-rc1 with the recent acpi-patch and ererything works fine. (I first installed the Suse-kernel-sources and then copied the .config-file into the new 2.4.20-rc1-tree - make menuconfig - make bzimage and so on.)
I had no major problems with this.

Did you configure the kernel yourself? The Suse Kernel has the option "prompt for development options" (One of the first options when you do make menuconfig or make xconfig - Unfortunately I do not know the exact name any more) enabled. This allows you to select drivers/modules marked as "(EXPERIMENTAL)", eg. FireWire, Bluetooth, I thonk WLan too, and so on.
