acpi-20021101 broken

[moali-ArvQUR6U0fYD0fefG/KofA]

Hi!

I just tried out acpi-20021101 (patch against 2.4.20-rc1), but unfortunately it 
seems to be broken. When booting, I see some kenel messages (I think I could 
identify the processor-determination) and then the kernel seems to run into an 
endless loop writing tons of messages to the console (nearly impossible to 
read); but they all seem to have the same structure:

a few words "-" four digits "["for digits"]" "["two digits"]" some text ":" 
some text

The first four digits displayed are "0001" almost the whole time.

The system does not lock in this loop, but a warm-reboot is not accepted.

acpi-20021022 worked on the system (but as mentioned with /proc/thermal 
and /proc/processor missing).

If I can help somehow finding the reason for this bug, please let me know.

Maier Gerfried

PS.: The system boots as expected (but without acpi) with acpi=off specified as 
boot-parameter.

Hi 
Same situation happend on my ThinkPad 600E. After
waitting for a long time, The seeming endless loop was
over, and the box boot into console login. But the
strange problem was that every character you key in
were changed (eg. a change to ^A, ) so I cannot login.
After waitting for a long time,  every thing looks
like right. keyboard was ok now. 

I was confused by the odd login experience.

Hy,
I can see that behaviour also on my Toshiba 2800-400.
Booting is very slow. After boring minutes I can start a 'top' where I can
see the kacpidpc spawning quite fast (and eating up nearly all of my CPU
cycles until it dies).
