kernel: 2.4.20-pre7, with patch acpi20020918, configured with ACPI

DOES NOT BOOT

I have attached the unpatched dsdt. To get rid of acpi error 
messages, I 
removed offending "Name()" lines. Please let me know if this is the 
appropriate fix. As I said, it doesn't boot with the original 
dsdt either.

I have an SCB2 system, whose ASL looks pretty similar to yours -- even some
of the same ASL problems. It boots for me with an SMP but not UP kernel.

Which are you trying?

If UP, can you please try this ASL change?

Search for this:

    Method(GETI, 1) {
        If(And(Arg0, 0xf, )) {
            Return(Zero)
        }
        Else {
            Return(\MLIB.CNV2(And(Arg0, 0xf, )))
        }
    }

And swap the contents of the if/else.

The Name() lines emit a warning but are harmless.

If you're having troubles in SMP mode, then I guess that is not shared
between our two platforms...

Thanks -- Regards -- Andy
