Please test the patch below. I assume even without the patch, booting with "acpi=off" on your BIOS-ACPI-disabled box works? (if no, this patch will not solve all your problems, for you have additional trouble elsewhere) I am curious why you're running a CONFIG_ACPI=y kernel for a box with ACPI disabled. (though yes, it is supposed to work) I'm even more curious what bad things happen when you enable ACPI in the BIOS -- can you let me know and we can try to fix them so the machine can run as shipped? thanks, -Len Brown Intel Open Source Technology Center diff --git a/drivers/acpi/tables.c b/drivers/acpi/tables.c index 775c97a..a885295 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/tables.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/tables.c @@ -293,7 +293,12 @@ static void __init check_multiple_madt(void) int __init acpi_table_init(void) { - acpi_initialize_tables(initial_tables, ACPI_MAX_TABLES, 0); + acpi_status status; + + status = acpi_initialize_tables(initial_tables, ACPI_MAX_TABLES, 0); + if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) + return 1; + check_multiple_madt(); return 0; }
