Could you clarify that a bit? Why is this correct behaviour on 2.6.6 and
not 2.6.3? Actually, if there's no adaptor I wouldn't think the module
would be loaded, and if there is I would hope it would be configured
usefully.
I do understand why loading would cause problems, my question is why
loading is correct on this system, and why ACPI is doing so now and not
in 2.6.3.
