You should clean this part from the patch,
this bug cames with kernel.2.4.20 !!, define_mbool doens't exits so, if
you an error runnig make xconfig . you must edit drivers/net/Config.in
and delete m in line 188.

and btw no more problems with the error message "Failed to acquire
semaphore" would appear during operations on the embedded controller
(EC). 
The acpi20030528 works normally.
