Linux 2.4.20 ACPI

[Margit Schubert-While]

The latest ACPI acpi-20021118-2.4.20-rc1.diff.gz over at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36832
applies cleanly to 2.4.20-rc3
Leading to :
<6>ACPI: RSDP (v000 ACPIAM                     ) @ 0x000f70d0
<6>ACPI: RSDT (v001 INTEL  D845PESV 08194.04144) @ 0x1ff40000
<6>ACPI: FADT (v002 INTEL  D845PESV 08194.04144) @ 0x1ff40200
<6>ACPI: MADT (v001 INTEL  D845PESV 08194.04144) @ 0x1ff40300
<6>ACPI: ASF! (v016 AMIASF I845GASF 00000.00001) @ 0x1ff44390
<6>ACPI: DSDT (v001 INTEL  D845PESV 00000.00266) @ 0x00000000
<5>ACPI: BIOS passes blacklist

etc. instead of :

<4> tbutils-0200 [03] Tb_validate_table_head: Table signature at e080f390 
[c15ffe24] has invalid characters
<4> tbutils-0202: *** Warning: Invalid table signature ASF! found
<4> tbxface-0095: *** Error: Acpi_load_tables: Error getting required 
tables (DSDT/FADT/FACS):AE_BAD_SIGNATURE
<4> tbxface-0116: *** Error: Acpi_load_tables: Could not load tables: 
AE_BAD_SIGNATURE
<3>ACPI: System description table load failed

- Tom Diehl - Try a Suse 8.1 distro, it has ACPI enabled by default :-)
