Kernel 2.4.10 and ACPI

Kernel 2.4.10 and ACPI

[Rob MacGregor]

I should mention that I get exactly the same result from 2.4.9.  I hadn't 
tried ACPI before then.

On both my desktop (based on a SuperMicro P6DGU with the Intel 440GX 
chipset, l) and my laptop (HP Omnibook 450B) when I build in the ACPI system 
(either as module or into the kernel) the system hangs on boot.  It does 
this at the point of activating ACPI.  I enabled the debug mode and my 
laptop dies at:

ACPI Namespace successfully loaded at root c028a6c0
ACPI: Core Subsystem version [20010831]
Executing device _INI methods:.....................

(that's 21 '.'s).

Is there anything else I can do to help track down what's causing this and 
resolve it?

I'm not on the list (though I should start getting the daily digest as of 
today) so you'll need to CC me if you want me to see anything.

	Hi, I was getting a different problem with ACPI.
	When the Kernel ends enabling ACPI, the machine hangs, and 
Control+Alt+Del dosen't run.
	Why I can do to get more details about this problem?

Thanks and sorry for the bad english.

Add debugging printk's to see _which_ device's _INI hangs the machine.

Sadly I'm not really a programmer and haven't a clue about the innards of 
the Linux kernel.  I presume you're talking about sticking this "printk" 
statement into some file in linux/drivers/acpi.  However, which file and 
where?
