Hi, 

I just updated $other machine to 2.4.22, and now i have several ACPI
tools screaming at me because /proc/acpi dosn't exist.
(it was running 2.4.21-pre1, it has aslo been running with several acpi
patches)

And then:
dmesg |grep ACPI
 BIOS-e820: 0000000027fec000 - 0000000027fef000 (ACPI data)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000027fff000 - 0000000028000000 (ACPI NVS)
ACPI: have wakeup address 0xc0001000
ACPI disabled because your bios is from 2000 and too old <- WTF?

I assure you that this machine has been running with acpi enabled for
years without a problem. The latest bios is from "2000/08/04" according
to asus' website.

Is it me or is this check unwarranted? Or does it actually catch bad
bisoses?

PS. Keep me in the CC:
DS.

I have the same problem on a sager 5600D that's only 8 months old. It
didn't happen with 2.4.22-rc2, I missed -rc3, but it happens in -rc4. I
also get it in 2.6.0-test4. Was something back-ported?

Here's my grepped dmesg:

$ dmesg |grep ACPI

Boot the kernel using "acpi=force"...

Some new ACPI stuff went into 2.4.22 final. Try booting the kernel with
"acpi=force".

Using this boot option brings ACPI back to life here. Thanks!

Yes, but are all y2k bioses blacklisted now?
I mean, why was this list added, i thought that most bios manuf. ppl.
mainly used Windows "compatible" acpi anyways.. (ie still flawed) so
whats so magic with y2k?
