ACPI on RH9 - just Hangs during Init

ACPI on RH9 - just Hangs during Init

[Ow Mun Heng]

Hi,

	I'm having some issues getting ACPI to work for a default RH9
install with kernel 2.4.20-8. 

Just unchecked apm and selected acpi nothing else. Did not want to 
mess around with anything else. KErnel compiled just fine but then it 
reaches init and before the messages start it just bloody sits 
there doing nothing nothing at all. No msgs no cpu light 
nothing. Its  very creepy.

This is a Samsung Laptop.

Can I buy a clue here???

Cheers,                                                 .^.

Hi!
yes kernel 2.4.20-8 have at least "6" months and  IIRC (if I recall
correctly), doesn't have new acpi CA, is old ACPI and it does not
maintained.
Applying acpi-patches is not possible, directly or I don't recommend, 
so you can try use the main stock kernel from kernel.org.

best regards

and compile with the same configuration of redhat kernel (at the time
the config files was for 2.4.21 but with latest one 2.4.26-rc2, should
be pacific). You can found those files in configure directory of
kernel-sources of redhat9.

Does appending "acpi=off" boot your new compiled kernel?
If yes, can you please provide your DSDT by using 
$ ./acpidmp DSDT > /tmp/DSDT
You can download acpidmp from
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools-20
031210.tar.bz2

Thanks,
