Please CC me in!
Please find attached details of an oops I get in 2.5.7-pre2 with the
attached config.
Up to 2.5.7-pre1 ACPI worked fine with System, Processor and Button
options enabled.
If I disable all the options, leaving just ACPI support, it still oopss.
If I disable ACPI totally, it boots fine.
If I disable Power management, but leave ACPI and option selected, it
also oopss.
The only change I have made to the vanilla tree is the changes is
fs/reiserfs/journal.c that I was told about on here the other day.

I have reproduced this problem. If a copy of my .config file
would be helpful, just let me know and I'll send it along.

There was a big ACPI merge in 2.5.7-pre2, but since the ACPI people
never tested the non-ACPI case, they had broken that horribly by some
bad assumptions they had made.
I fixed the non-ACPI brokenness, which then left the ACPI merge in a
halfway state.. So right now ACPI device initialization doesn't work.
I'm hoping that the ACPI folks can fix up their broken assumptions soon.

Right now you need to run 2.5.7-pre2 without any ACPI support
whatsoever, I'm afraid. I may try to fix it on my own, but I'm still
hoping some official ACPI person will beat me to it.

I can see from bkbits looks like you already fixed it post-pre2, so I guess
we will just sit tight and everything will be fine once pre3 is out.

I haven't much tested my fixes, but I hope it's close enough to be
workable.
