Kernel 2.4.20 hangs when loading ACPI on K7SEM mobo

Kernel 2.4.20 hangs when loading ACPI on K7SEM mobo

[Philippe Clérié]

Kernel 2.4.20 hangs while loading ACPI. The last few lines of 
the boot sequence are:

Parsing methods....................
Table [DSFT] - 414 objects with 41 devices 117 methods 28 
regions
ACPI namespace successfully loaded at c033a59c

Hangs there and it takes a cold reboot to get the system back to 
life. I made no changes in the default BIOS settings except to 
turn off the Floppy drive.

ECS K7SEM motherboard with the original BIOS. Kernel is 
gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1. (I am not certain of which ACPI patch 
was applied to these sources, but I think it is the one that 
came out in November 2002). 

TIA

Give gs-sources a try. I'm using gs-sources-2.4.21_pre6 (I think)
currently and that has the most up-to-date ACPI patch in it.
