I download from kernel.org the tarball of kernel 2.4.20 and patched it with acpi-2.4.20, enabling all options but Cpu ENumearation only, Toshiba Laptop Extras and Debug statements. I install also acpi and acpi daemon(acpid) After rebooting, everything works fine, i could see files in /proc/acpi and values seem to be right. Moreover, I was able to power down the notebook via software. Also the network card has no trouble, at least if I use it in console. But if I try to use it under KDE, e.g. with konqueror, kmail or mozilla, it stops working at all (also in console mode) and the following message appears repeatly on consoles: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 timed out Note that if I simply login in KDE without invoking konqueror, the network card (in console) works great but as soon as I use it inside kde it crashes. If i reboot with a previous unpatched kernel everythings gets right but of course with no ACPI support :(( Have you got any suggestions ?
