pnpbios and acpi

pnpbios and acpi

[Damien Challet]

Dear All,

I have a thinkpad 600E, which needs some energic action from setpnp in order 
to get the sound working. For this, I need pnpbios.

Acpi works really great with this laptop, and I would like to keep using it. 
The only problem is that with acpi enabled, pnpbios complains:

Linux Plug and Play Support v0.97 (c) Adam Belay
PnPBIOS: Scanning system for PnP BIOS support...
PnPBIOS: Found PnP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00fe700
PnPBIOS: PnP BIOS version 1.0, entry 0xf0000:0xe724, dseg 0xf0000
PnPBIOS: dev_node_info: function not supported on this system
PnPBIOS: Unable to get node info.  Aborting.

hence /proc/bus/pnp does not exist anymore.

This is with kernel 2.6.7 and 2.6.8.1

So two questions: 

1) is it possible for acpi and pnpbios to coexist.
2) how to achieve with acpi functionality equivalent to that of pnpbios? 

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

Damien

Please try latest acpi-bk tree. PNPBIOS is overrided by PNPACPI.
