2.6.2: ACPI -VS- PPPoE / aDSL

[leonard]

Hello everyone,

With Linux kernel last 'stable' version 2.6.2,
i had to compile withOUT ACPI to get my PPPoE/aDSL working :/

ACPI works great by itself, but does not let my pppoe driver
(the roaring penguin) do its job properly.
Note I did not try with the new kernel-space pppoe driver. 

It was the same way between ACPI and DHCP in kernel 2.6.0-TEST9

Just letting you know, I'm sure far from being alone with this
issue, but didn't find any messages talking about it in the archives.

Take care ACPI developpers ;)
Guillaume

P.S. Please CC any unlikely answer to `root AT_ dune2 D0T_ info`
that way I'm sure not to skip it :)

Leonard,
please try booting with pci=noacpi -- if that causes the box to work,
then you have an ACPI interrupt configuration problem.  If it doesn't,
try booting with "acpi=off" to confirm that it functions properly with
ACPI completely out of the picture.

also, the acpi developers are actually at
acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.

thanks,
