Hi all,
New Linux 2.4 and 2.5 patches are now available from
http://sf.net/projects/acpi. Big thanks to the asus-acpi team, as well
as all the other people who have been tracking down bugs and submitting
fixes lately.
Regards -- Andy

1) Linux:
acpiphp update (Takayoshi Kochi)
Export acpi_disabled for sonypi (Stelian Pop)
Mention acpismp=force in config help

Hi Andrew,
The new ACPI interpreter works much better and seems to mostly solve the
previous problems I had with ACPI on a Dual-Xeon machine with HT, see
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774
The excessive ACPI interrupts have ceased, but I still get exactly
100000 ACPI interrupts during bootup and then no more. Also the ACPI
interrupt seems to hit the e100 driver unexpectedly.
I've put up the dmesg output of 2.5.73 at the following URL:
http://hell.wh8.tu-dresden.de/dmesg-2.5.73.txt
Regards,
-Udo.

There's still a problem here, btw, so don't close the bug or anything -
it's just that the interrupt code is noticing we're horribly broken and
turning the interrupt off.
