Randy, your patch fixed it!

Randy, your patch fixed it!

[Paul Hernandez]

Came in this morning and finished the build to try your
patch and it successfully corrected the

WARNING: unexpected IO-APIC,

issue. It's really great when folks add the "please mail to"
bit after an unexpected error occurs. Kudos to you for
that.

As you suggest I shall follow-up with acpi-devel@lists.sf.net
on the "ACPI-0361: *** Error: GPE0 block overlaps the GPE1 block"
matter.

Any suggestions on who to follow up with on 2.4.19's NIC card
issues? I've tried three different vendors cards with no luck.
All worked fine on 2.4.18 but had to upgrade to fix other issues.
mii-tool won't even work on 2.4.19 claiming

SIOCGMIIPHY on eth0 failed:
Operation not supported.
No MII interfaces found

Thanks again Randy.

| PCI: Using configuration type 1

| Does your patch resolve this as well?

Nope, it does not.  I don't know anything about that one.
If you want to follow-up on that problem, please send an
email about it to acpi-devel@lists.sf.net .

|

| | | Haven't tried your patch yet but now I'm running 2.4.19.SuSE (SuSE
8.1)

| | |
| | | I'd like to try you patch below. I'm comfortable building kernels
| however
| | | I've only used xpm's and not patch. If your willing to give me a few
| | | steps on how to use your patch I'll try it and let you know.
| |
| | xpm's? or rpm's?
| | I don't even know what xpm's are.
| |
| | | I'm assuming you copy the files below into a file say randy.patch,
| | | cd to /usr/src/linux anf type
| | |
| | | patch [some option here] < randy.patch
| |
| | Sure, here's what I would do:
| |
| |   patch -p0 -bs --dry-run < randy.patch
| | to make sure that it doesn't complain about patch file errors
| |
| | and then
| |   patch -p0 -b < randy.patch
| | to really apply the patch.
| | Using -b makes backup files of the patched files.
| |
| | Then 'make bzImage' will rebuild the kernel.
| | Can you take it from there?
| |
| | Thanks,
| | ~Randy
