ACPI lockup on boot in 2.4.0

ACPI lockup on boot in 2.4.0

Hi,

I have a Sony VAIO C1XE (Picturebook) that is giving me some grief with 2.4.0.

I compiled it with ACPI compiled as a module and APM not compiled in at all, but on booting I get the following.
ACPI: System description tables found
ACPI: System description tables loaded

and then the system locks up..

I will try compiling up a kernel without ACPI support and see where I get, but any help in the meantime would be appreciated.  I am happy to provide any additional information that might be required

-Robert

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-F350 that behaves the same way.  I compiled in
ACPI (not a module) and never got further than this.  When I enabled APM
and disabled ACPI everything started to work.

Kernel 2.4.0
gcc: 2.95.2 (I bieleve).

on Debian Potato

To get a more verbose failure scenario, grab the ACPI debug version from
http://developer.intel.com/technology/IAPC/acpi/downloads.htm

Thank-you for the pointers.

Looking at the ACPI mailing list, it appears that the ACPI code gets stuck
in an infinite loop with many of the VAIO notebooks.  So it:s back to APM
for now
