Re: [ACPI] Re: patch for 2.4.18??

[Arndt S. <ab...@sr...>]

Ok, let's extract the helpful point of timecop's message which is:

    Please note that the ACPI patches might not cleanly apply against
    (and are not tested with) altered kernel sources, so please don't
    complain to the list if you are having problems.

How about writing it this way, timecop? ;-)

BTW, this also applies to Debian kernel-source packages, which always
include a couple of bug fixes applied by the package maintainer.

Cheers,
Arndt
