[ACPI] ACPI on Travelmate c100

[downtime n. <dow...@do...>]

I'm trying to get the ACPI stuff working an my Acer Travelmate c100.
I've seen a couple of posts about this, but I'm not able to get it
working. I found the patch from John Turney at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3854113&forum_id=6102 and manually applied the changes to my kernel, but upon reboot with the new kernel, the system reboots very early in the boot process. I don't understand the kernel code well enough to do much hacking on it, so I was wondering if anyone had any good resources on getting this working. I'm using Fedora Core 2 with the updated kernel.

$ uname -a
Linux zen.localnet 2.6.8-1.521custom #6 Sat Aug 28 18:12:02 CDT 2004
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Russell
