RE: No events when pressing power button

I patched my kernel (2.4.18) today with latest version of 

acpi-patch 

quoted

(acpi-20020726-2.4.18.diff). My power button gets detected 

but I dont get

any events from it. I have a ABit BP6 with dual celeron processors.
ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]
What could be wrong? I tried latest acpid rpm and 'cat 

/proc/acpi/event' 

quoted

without results. Acpid doesn't write nothing to 

/var/log/acpid when I

press power button. 

had you try kacpid patch 
that detects lost acpi events

Hi,

The problem *may* be that the ACPI interrupt is not being set to active-low,
level-triggered properly (we do this for PCI irqs but not our own ;-)

Is your acpi interrupt shared with any PCI devices? If the above hypothesis
is true, the answer should be "no".

I don't know about people's comfort level with the code, but you might try
adding a call to eisa_set_level_irq(<ACPI irq #>) and seeing if that gets
interrupts happening properly. kacpid should not be necessary but obviously
until SCIs work 100% it remains useful for some people.
