I can't back that. At least on all my Serverworks boxes there are no
problems with ACPI. I got reports from VIA-bases SMP boards that they are
doing well, too. (all for 2.4.22)

And I can say that my Soyo SY-KT600 Ultra (VIA KT600+8237) has ACPI
problems as well. pci=noacpi doesn't help but acpi=off does. It gives
lots of errors that the ACPI tables are buggy when booting claiming
my 8237 SATA controller has gotten IRQ -19 for instance.
Using acpi=off solves the problem. This is with or without the libata
VIA 8237 SATA driver. Without anything it recognizes the chip but
doesn't like using IRQ -19 and doesn't see any disks. With pci=noacpi
it sees the disks but bombs out when trying to get the partition table.
It gets IRQ -19 still there. acpi=off makes it all work.

The IRQ -19 thing is a bug in my nforce2 patch in 2.4.22. It didn't drop back 
to using the PIC correctly. My latest acpi-picmode patch (posted to this list 
a few days back) corrects this, among other things.

Can you please resend me the patch?

Have you got any feedback on it?
