After many, many recompiles.... As it turns out, this buggy behavior occurs when I turn off CONFIG_ACPI completely, instead of just turning off CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR.  I tried this same configuration file with the non-patched vanilla kernel, and got strange behavior as well, so the problem is probably not in the adeos patch (unlike the other two issues we discussed).  I am not really concerned about this, since I would rather have some of the CONFIG_ACPI options on anyway.  I just wanted to follow up and let you know I tracked down the problem as far as I care to take it for the moment.

Thanks,

Jeff
