It was written for the 2.4.20 kernel, and I'm getting some questions about the 2.4.21 kernel and the latest patch. I am hoping this is a quick question with an easy answer. http://xtrinsic.com/geek/articles/acpi.phtml Here is a copy of the email I received which outlines the problem behind the question: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=2668793&forum_id=7803 My question is this: Does the CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC module need to be set to "Y" for the 2.4.21 kernel + latest ACPI patch to work? I've found the following APIC options in the 2.4.20 kernel: CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y # CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set # CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC is not set The reader who emailed me said that he had to enable the second option in order to get the 2.4.21 kernel + patch to work. Will this be true for all hardware configurations 2.4.21? thanks!! emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
