I have no idea why it is trying to map something of length 0. I have fooled 
around the with the PCI configuration (using direct and BIOS access) and 
changed the few settings in the BIOS (32-bit disk access, PnP OS).  That's 
all there is in the bios. That memory range is clearly inside the region 
marked as ACPI data. I've been trying to get this system working and having a 
very hard time. I install Gentoo with a 2.4.18 kernel and ACPI worked. I then 
started to prepare my LinuxFromScratch distro. I am using the some kernel 
version and acpi-diff file that I used to make the kernel for Gentoo, but 
once I switched, ACPI didn't work. They came from the same sources. The GCC 
version has changed (3.1), but I tested with an old one (2.96.3) with no 
change. In either case I recompiled the kernel several times, usually with a 
make dist-clean first. Could there be some assembler or linker that changed 
from Gentoo to LFS that's breaking ACPI? That seems unlikely, right?

I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
