Description Scott 2003-02-22 16:47:58 UTC
Including ACPI at all in the kernel causes the system load to race to 100% 
Not a show stopper as it will play nice with the user load up to around 65%. 
System is a toshiba S5205. Legacy free system NEEDS ACPI to work properly. The 
mailing list archive for the ACPI project reports the same for a few other systems, but 
with no acceptable fix. There was an update on the Feb 19. I don't know, may fix it. 
Can we have it updated?

The next gentoo-sources will probably be getting an updated ACPI patch from the ACPI folks, when I get that update into lolo-sources, I'll let you know so you can test it.
Comment 3 Bob Johnson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-04 07:02:13 UTC
gs-sources contains latest acpi I believe , dated 1/23/2003
Comment 4 Scott 2003-03-04 18:37:48 UTC
Umm... perhpas. I don't belive I've seen a gentoo-source release after the last 
release of the ACPI, but it (gentoo-source) and the lolo-pre4 still have the bug. 
Comment 5 Scott 2003-03-16 17:41:41 UTC
My bad I assumed gs-sources was an abreviation of gentoo-sources. 
gs-sources though does not work. The latest vanilla with the 2.4.21-pre4 
patch, and acpi patch does work. But I'm getting alot of unresolved 
symbols with it and the nvidia-kernel. 
Comment 6 Bob Johnson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-16 18:18:52 UTC
gs-sources is vanilla + pre5 + acpi 
Comment 7 Narada Sage 2003-03-19 18:20:21 UTC
Hello.  Any further information on the progress of getting a newer version of ACPI into the gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 kernel now that it's out?  I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
Comment 8 Narada Sage 2003-03-30 07:01:01 UTC
Just to let you all know having spoken to lostlogic on irc that there aren't any further patches available for the 2.4.20 kernel.  A newer version of ACPI shall have to wait for the 2.4.21 which is due out subjectively in a month's time.

give gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3 at try. it has acpi updates. 
 
Regards,

closing as user reported success with 2.4.21pre4 + acpi. the latest acpi is in gs-sources-2.4.21rc1 and has the fixes.
