I've just built 2.4.13 and 2.4.14 with and without the KDB patch and in all
cases when the system comes up there is a kacpidpc process (PID 10) taking
100% of one of the cpus (changes which CPU it's on every boot). The system
is a 4 processor Lion (733 Mhz B3) with 1 gig of ram. This process isn't
even running when I build the same kernels on a BigSpur. I've even tried
copying over the very kernel that works fine on the BigSpur, but when I boot
it on the Lion I get this kacpidpc process. Naturally the process ignores my
'kill -9's. I've tried booting the kernel on single proc Lions (733 C0s),
but the kernel won't even boot on those systems (hangs right after it loads
the SCSI driver is begins looking for devices). Does anyone have any idea
why this kacpidpc process is hogging one of the CPUs, and how I go about
getting rid of it? Unlike in the IA32 kernels, it doesn't look like you can
turn off ACPI in the IA64 kernel. Thanks,

David

What ACPI configuration do you use?  In my kernels, I turn on the
following ACPI related configs:

CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_EFI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_KERNEL_CONFIG=y

All other ACPI stuff I turn off.

What firmware are you using?  In my experience, Lions need build 99 or
newer.

I have the exact same ACPI configuration you do, with just those four things
turned on. I have also tried commenting all of those things out, but then
the kernel doesn't build (almost does, just barfs at the end when it's
linking everything). I think the bios I'm using is the latest development
one, v1.1 (release date was October 9th). Any ideas? I did a lot of
searching on this and I'm afraid that I'm the only person in the universe
having this problem.

David

The ACPI interpreter starts threads to run control methods, and these are
labeled kacpidpc. When nothing is wrong, these are short-lived, and then
terminate.

Can you please use kdb, break in, and get a stack trace to find out where
we're stuck?
