AGAIN problems with newest ACPI patch :-((((((

[Marc-Christian Petersen <m.c.p-hi6Y0CQ0nG0@public.gmane.org>]

Hi there,

again many troubles with your newest ACPI patch (20020726).

Unlike almost every second release the Network (NIC) are working, but if i do 
a ping <IP> i get 1 reply and after that:

Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0: Tx ring dump,  Tx queue 169 / 141:
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:     0 200ca000.
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:     1 000ca000.
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:     2 000ca000.
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:     3 000ca000.
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:     4 000ca000.
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:     5 000ca000.
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:     6 000ca000.
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:     7 000ca000.
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:     8 600ca000.
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0:   = 9 000ca000.
...
Jul 27 03:43:13 codeman kernel: eth0: Printing Rx ring (next to receive into 
0, dirty index 0).
...

and so on. Many more lines of the above. After that the network is 
NON-functional.

And now the bad one: pon dsl-provider (ADSL connect, pppd, no kernel based 
PPPoE) and the system freezes!! Only hard reset will help.

This is with 2.4.18.

[*] ACPI Support
[ ] CPU Enumeration Only
<M>   AC Adapter
<M>   Battery
<M>   Button
<M>   Fan
<M>   Processor
<M>   Thermal Zone
[ ]   Debug Statements

I've also tried with Debug statements with no more debugging output.
Now I use again, like before updating the ACPI code, v20020611 with no 
problems.

P.S.: Isn't it possible to make always a ~95% working code?! ;-))

System:
-------
- Celeron 800MHz
- 256MB RAM
- eepro100 internal network
- rtl8139 external network (adsl)
- Debian SID
