SuSE 9.0 has ACPI enabled and you should see stuff under /proc/acpi with
that before you build a custom 2.6.3 kernel.

We don't publish ACPI patches from sourceforge.net, and have not done so
for over 6 months, they're published from kernel.org. Though if you're
not a developer, it I is probably better to use what is in the mainline
kernel.org tree since it is more widely tested than the latest ACPI
patch.

The output from dmesg -s40000 will probably tell all.

Cheers,
