I wanted to make a special request for testing of the 2.4 patch (or should I
say, MEGA-patch).

Marcelo has asked for widespread testing of it, in anticipation of likely
2.4 mainline inclusion. I will be posting a call for testing to linux-kernel
soon, but am posting this here first to hopefully weed out any really bad
bugs that may have crept in.

The main issues of importance are:

- DOES IT BOOT?
- DOES IT ASSIGN INTERRUPTS PROPERLY?

Failure to do so either indicates a bug that we need to fix (fast) or a
system that should go on the blacklist. dmesg now includes the DSDT
signature to aid blacklisting.

Issues like whether the battery reports stats properly are of secondary
importance.

Thanks in advance.

Regards -- Andy

When you cat /proc/interrupts, is there a huge and ever-increasing number of
interrupts listed for the shared irq?

(Wait, I thought video devices weren't interrupt driven? Or is that only
video out, not video-in, like bt878?)

My understanding was, when an interrupt is shared, the OS calls *all* the
interrupt service routines (ISRs) for devices on that interrupt - it is then
up to the ISR to determine whether its device interrupted and handle it, or
whether just to return.

You might start your investigations by looking at
drivers/acpi/events/evsci.c acpi_ev_sci_handler().
