I tried to apply the acpi-patch against 2.4.20-pre10-ac1.

It is not perfect, there are some problems with cpufreq i couldn't fix. If you disable cpufreq, it should compile and run.

If anyone fixes the cpufreq-issue, please inform me.

You don't want to mix the two. If you do need native power management on
your ACPI system the ACPI layer eventually has to be the one making the
cpufreq requests

You _do_ want to mix the two when ACPI didn't have the right
information in order to support performance states of the cpu (old
version of the specs where performance is not included in AML).

Please note also that Dominik have submitted some patches to have
the two in order to cooporate more smoothly, and Andy is agreed to
go, when things would stabilize.

Cheers,
