Subject: [PATCH] Make ACPI unselectable in 2.4.20-rc1

Hi Marcelo,

My plan is to start feeding you bits of ACPI changes after 2.4.20 is
released. However, for 2.4.20, I'd like to make sure the really old code
in 2.4.20 doesn't bite any casual kernel builders.

Please apply,

Thanks -- Andy

There are no changes from 2.4.19, so I guess right thing is to leave
it there. People would loose their configs this way, etc.

Could you please expand "bite" ?

I see no reason for disabling ACPI in 2.4.19.

Yeah you're right. Sorry, bad idea. Never mind.
