Re: newest ACPI

And lo, upon Thu, Aug 01, 2002 at 10:46:25PM -0400, Louis Garcia spaketh thusly:

Just wondering what the latest patch for kernel-2.4 has that the stock
2.4.18 kernel doesn't? To my understanding ACPI is useless without the
new driver model.

Aside from the new model (and different layout in /proc/acpi), one
critical thing it has for me is (seemingly) correct PCI IRQ routing..
with the stock 2.4.18 version, several devices on my sony R505E would
not get IRQs assigned and would thus be unusable. With the latest
ACPI patch, they get the IRQs they need.
