RE: Error starting acpi with 2.4.19

This sounds like your machine has bad ASL of the form:

Name (DEB, 4)
Scope (DEB)
{
}

DEB can't be both an Integer and a Scope.

What type of machine is this?

Subject: [ACPI] Error starting acpi with 2.4.19

I am having problems getting ACPI started using the latest SGI XFS
kernel (2.4.19) with patches sergiomb added. 

I get the following output on bootup: 


ACPI: Subsystem revision 20020829 
PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfdb31, last bus=1 
PCI: Using configuration type 1 
tbxface-0099 [03] Acpi_load_tables      : ACPI Tables successfully
loaded 
dswload-0210: *** Error: Invalid type (Integer) for target of Scope
operator [DEB_] 
psparse-0570 [10] Ps_parse_loop         : During name lookup/catalog,
AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE 
tbxface-0107: *** Error: Acpi_load_tables: Could not load namespace:
AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE 
tbxface-0116: *** Error: Acpi_load_tables: Could not load tables:
AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE 
ACPI: Unable to load the System Description Tables 
PCI: Probing PCI hardware 
PCI: ACPI tables contain no PCI IRQ routing entries 
PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00) 
PCI: Discovered primary peer bus 01 [IRQ] 
Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.4 

later in the boot process I see: 

Starting acpid: acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or
directory 
[FAILED] 

Which is unfortunate, as I would like to use acpid ;-> 

I see no acpi(d) process running and there is no /proc/acpi subdirectory
created... What do I need to do to debug this situation
