(all for 2.4.22) And I can say that my Soyo SY-KT600 Ultra (VIA KT600+8237) has ACPI problems as well. pci=noacpi doesn't help but acpi=off does. It gives lots of errors that the ACPI tables are buggy when booting claiming my 8237 SATA controller has gotten IRQ -19 for instance. Using acpi=off solves the problem. This is with or without the libata VIA 8237 SATA driver. Without anything it recognizes the chip but doesn't like using IRQ -19 and doesn't see any disks. With pci=noacpi it sees the disks but bombs out when trying to get the partition table. It gets IRQ -19 still there. acpi=off makes it all work. // Stefan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
