Re: acpi-patch + kernel 2.4.19

hi folx...

did anyone of you try to install the current acpi-patch to the current
linux kernel 2.4.19?

Well, I tried against 2.4.19-ac1. The patch itself creates lots of rejects, 
some of them I couldn't solve directly. 

i am very confused, since the structure of the files in linux/drivers/acpi
seems to have changed enormously. on the other hand, acpi from the original
kernel still seems to be quite old (output from dmesg):

ACPI: Core Subsystem version [20011018]
ACPI: Subsystem enabled

Yep, this version doesn't support my battery state, 2.5.25 does.

well, and as you can see, acpi claims to be enabled. but there is no
/proc/acpi to be found. even with the stock 2.4.18 a couple of months ago,
i had at least something in there.

That's strange. It's working for me with both the plain 2.4.18 and 2.4.19-ac1. 
Any error message in dmesg? Perhaps the bios is some kind of broken or acpi 
is inactivated per command line?

any insights?

cheers,
 sebastian

p.s.: please cc: me or group-reply, i am not on the list, so far.
