The latest ACPI acpi-20021118-2.4.20-rc1.diff.gz over at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36832
applies cleanly to 2.4.20-rc3
Leading to :
<6>ACPI: RSDP (v000 ACPIAM ) @ 0x000f70d0
<6>ACPI: RSDT (v001 INTEL D845PESV 08194.04144) @ 0x1ff40000

<6>ACPI: DSDT (v001 INTEL D845PESV 00000.00266) @ 0x00000000
<5>ACPI: BIOS passes blacklist
etc. instead of :
<4> tbutils-0200 [03] Tb_validate_table_head: Table signature at e080f390
[c15ffe24] has invalid characters
<4> tbutils-0202: *** Warning: Invalid table signature ASF! found

- Tom Diehl - Try a Suse 8.1 distro, it has ACPI enabled by default :-)

>From memory, if both ACPI and APM are enabled, the ACPI notices the APM
and doesn't enable (or partially disables). Have you tried booting a RH
kernel with "noapm" to see if ACPI is there and would work for you if APM
were not there?
Do note, I haven't gone back to look at the RH config, I will try it for
grins the next time I reboot.
