redhat comment about intel not taking patches?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
RedHat is playing with enabling ACPI in their next release. (At least in the beta for the next release: phoebe).
Noticed this changelog comment in the phoebe kernel:
* Thu Nov 07 2002 Arjan van de Ven <[email protected]>
- - remove ACPI again because Intel is unwilling to take patches
What patches are they talking about?
Is there any way we could fix up the communication breakdown between RedHat/Intel?
It would be great if ACPI would work out of the box on my laptop with a RedHat kernel. At a minimum I guess it would require acpi to be able to detect the compaq *PNP stuff and remove the * so the table works.
Any comments/thoughts?

ACPI hit lots of problems. The business about how to feed patches is one thats I think resolved. Andrew posted about the dual licensing arrangement a week or so ago
