[ACPI] RE: CALL FOR TESTING

[Bernd P. <be...@op...>]

kernel: 2.4.20-pre7, with patch acpi20020918, configured with ACPI
platform: intel server SRMK2S with AMIBIOS and dual 1GHz PIII/256k 
cache, 1GB memory, adaptec 7899 SCSI

DOES NOT BOOT

Even after some patching of the DSDT, I get this:

'acpi=off'


The interrupt assignment seems to be out of whack, the SCSI disks cannot 
be accessed, and the kernel panics.


Next, I pass  pci=noacpi to the kernel, with the following result:

With pic=noacpi it finally boots after 10mins and tons of scsi error 
messages. The system is barely functional, the network cards don't work etc.


I have attached the unpatched dsdt. To get rid of acpi error messages, I 
removed offending "Name()" lines. Please let me know if this is the 
appropriate fix. As I said, it doesn't boot with the original dsdt either.

Your help is greatly appreciated!
