Hi,

I am using a old Redhat 7.1 on a new motherboard which uses ACPI. Do you have an ACPI patch for kernel 2.4.2-2? I searched the ACPI4LINUX download page but couldn't find one for my kernel.

Hope you can provide me the patch or the link.

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Michael

The oldest patch I see here:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/
is a test patch for 2.4.22. I think you're out of luck for 2.4.2-2. Why do you want to run such an old kernel anyway?

I would think there's a good chance plain Red Hat 7.1 might work on your new motherboard, even without ACPI. But you should consider a newer kernel, for security fixes if nothing else.
