ACPI 20020829 and kernel 2.4.19-4GB #1 Fri Sep 13 13:14:56 UTC 2002 i686 on Gericom Supersonic M6T

[Marius Oancea]

Hi, I have an Gericom M6T and I just installed SuSE 8.1.

If u add pci=acpi to the bootparam, acpi is working nearly acceptable :
 - acpi events are not raported anymore
 - when i start /stop acpid (at the time of acpi modules insertion) the 
complete system crash

I tried  to compile a original 2.4.19  kernel (from kernel.org) and 
patch this kernel with acpi-20020918-2.4.19.diff.

After that, acpi is working very well, but ... I don't have the exotic 
features of SuSE anymore (PCMCIA driver is not the last one and is not 
stable enough, SuSE hardware autodetection is not working too .... , 
grub, orinocco wireless card neither).

So, hopefully  somebody in this list has a patch for the SuSE 8.1 
kernel. The most stable acpi for Gericom Supersonic M6T is acpi-20020918.

Should I address this question to another list ?

If yes, on wich list ?

    With all my respect
        Marius OANCEA

... completely the same issue on my Suse 8.1 (Acer Travelmate Notebook)

Why didn't you try a more recent kernel+acpi-patch?

I'm now using 2.4.20-rc1 with the recent acpi-patch and ererything works fine. 
(I first installed the Suse-kernel-sources and then copied the .config-file 
into the new 2.4.20-rc1-tree - make menuconfig - make bzimage and so on.)

I had no major problems with this.

Did you configure the kernel yourself? The Suse Kernel has the option "prompt 
for development options" (One of the first options when you do make menuconfig 
or make xconfig - Unfortunately I do not know the exact name any more) enabled. 
This allows you to select drivers/modules marked as "(EXPERIMENTAL)", eg. 
FireWire, Bluetooth, I thonk WLan too, and so on.

If you need some help updating the kernel, please feel free and mail me 
directly.

I would address this to SuSE.
