Hi, thnanks for the interest...

Salut Alfonso,
I am not a developer,... but I would be interssted to see, what

 cat cat /proc/interrupts

I have attached a couple of files. The 'interrupts' file is the output
from 'cat /proc/interrupts' and I've also included the output of 'cat
/proc/pci' in 'pci'. I've read some doc from the ACPI website and I've
seen that sometimes there are conflicting devices on the same IRQ, or at
least that's what I got to understand. In my case it seems that the same
IRQ is used by the FireWire interface, but I haven't got it compiled. If
I do, as the driver is still experimental, whenever there's some network
traffic (at boot up when getting an IP address from my DHCP server) it
produces an awful lot of error messages and it goes havoc. I've included
a sample in the file 'ieee1394'. Maybe this can be helpful. However,
what I don't understand is why if I unload the processor module there is
no problem at all. I still believe that there must be something else
going on.

will say, in both cases. And what acpi-support did you use? The acpi that
comes with the kernel, or a developping version?

So far I have tried 2.4.20 with ACPI patch, 2.4.21-rc3 with ACPI patch,
2.4.21-rc7 with Alan Cox patch (it includes ACPI) and 2.5.70 with Alan
Cox patch. All of them have this same bug. Not different at all.

I'm forwarding this message that I sent to acpi-sppt because I believe
it's a bug. Feedback greatly appreciated.
