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.
gs-sources contains latest acpi I believe , dated 1/23/2003
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.
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.
gs-sources is vanilla + pre5 + acpi
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.
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, Jay
closing as user reported success with 2.4.21pre4 + acpi. the latest acpi is in gs-sources-2.4.21rc1 and has the fixes. Jay
