Hello folks

my name is Maurzio Bongini
i need to activate acpi
i read the sourceforge page and the "ACPI how to"

Hardware toshiba satellite 1800-712  last bios installed (2.10)
software :
boot manager Lilo
Default partition Windows XP -home
Second partition linux mandrake 9.2 kernel 2.4.22-10mdk
problem :
reboot process on windows function correctly
(shutdown,then power off,then power on again and reload)
reboot process on linux does not function
shutdown correctly,then don't poweroff like windows ,but try to reboot,
at this time pc hangs with a blank screen and fan at the maximum speed)
i look at windows configuration and i see that battery is ACPI managed
about battery here the info available on windows xp
Battery in ACPI windows compatible.
AC microsoft card.
so i want to activate acpi to make linux functioning at the same way as
microsoft do.
the current ACPI is 20030813
before activating i downloaded the last patch relative to 2.4.22 kernel
and i install it but i get the following errors: (see attached files)
what is the problem ?
i have to install first acpi and acpid before patching ?
i want also to know your opinion about the defect described..
does missing ACPI  activation may be the cause ?
thanks in advance for the support

(please answer to bong.mau-VGgt2q2+T+FeoWH0uzbU5w@public.gmane.org )

ciao
