(At least in the beta for the next release: phoebe). Noticed this changelog comment in the phoebe kernel: * Thu Nov 07 2002 Arjan van de Ven - - remove ACPI again because Intel is unwilling to take patches What patches are they talking about? Is there any way we could fix up the communication breakdown between RedHat/Intel? It would be great if ACPI would work out of the box on my laptop with a RedHat kernel. At a minimum I guess it would require acpi to be able to detect the compaq *PNP stuff and remove the * so the table works. Any comments/thoughts? kevin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 iD8DBQE+R+xn3imCezTjY0ERAle1AJ0WGVKSRzTTXYU+Y5R3Ie+VszaKaQCeNFDY 9gfOUY3HK9arInbqQcBlZiQ= =kDHa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com
