kacpid and acpid

Hi All,

my Problem is that i can not install "acpid" and "acpi-support" correctly, because another Process "kacpid" have got Access to /proc/acpi/event

My System:
Debian Lenny 32bit with Kernel 2.6.25 from kernel.org AMD Turion64 X2 Mobile

acpid is used for my Laptop to get my Buttons for Wireless and Sound Volume to work, as i think.

I do not know anything about "kacpid", but i think this is a Kernel Process.

Any Idea ?

Regards Markus

No, it doesn't. Something else must have grabbed /proc/acpi/event (probably hal or X), but kacpid is not the process in question.

Can you double check whether the /proc/acpi/event is accessed by "kapcid"? (Please use the command "lsof /proc/acpi/event" to get the process id).Kacpid is a kernel thread and /proc/acpi/event is the user interface.
