I already done the patches for kernels 2.4.19 and 2.4.18,
and I have 3 questions :
1- Configure.help what your version still have incorrect help for
options when configure kernel, if I should include help from the version
(i think) 0709 .

 CONFIG_ACPI
-  ACPI/OSPM support for Linux is currently under development. As such,
-  this support is preliminary and EXPERIMENTAL.  Configuring ACPI
-  support enables kernel interfaces that allow higher level software
-  (OSPM) to manipulate ACPI defined hardware and software interfaces,
-  including the evaluation of ACPI control methods.  If unsure, choose
-  N here.  Note, this option will enlarge your kernel by about 120K.
-
-  This support requires an ACPI compliant platform (hardware/firmware).
-  If both ACPI and Advanced Power Management (APM) support are
-  configured, whichever is loaded first shall be used.
-
-  This code DOES NOT currently provide a complete OSPM implementation
-  -- it has not yet reached APM's level of functionality.  When fully
-  implemented, Linux ACPI/OSPM will provide a more robust functional
-  replacement for legacy configuration and power management
-  interfaces, including the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP
-  BIOS), the Multi-Processor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced
-  Power Management specification (APM).
-
-  Linux support for ACPI/OSPM is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
-  Component Architecture (ACPI CA). The latest ACPI CA source code,
-  documentation, debug builds, and implementation status information
-  can be downloaded from:
-  <http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm>.

Hi Sergio,

Your patch works beautifully! I am currently running it on a modified
2.4.19 (rmap + preempt etc).

Thanks,

Jurgen
