Hi all,
Since the last ACPI revision made it into the 2.4 kernel (10 months ago) we have been making steady improvement. Successive versions have been tested by subscribers to the acpi-devel mailing list, but to really be confident this patch is suitable for inclusion in the 2.4 stable branch, it needs testing from an even wider audience. We're hoping you can help. :)
There are three pieces of data we're looking for, from as wide a spectrum of x86 machines as possible:
1) Does it boot? (Does the system hang, oops, or otherwise fail in a non-graceful manner)
2) Does it configure PCI interrupts properly? (/proc/interrupts may not be the same before and after, but devices should work like they did before the patch)
3) How do your results compare to the existing ACPI code in 2.4.x? Anything else interesting? (optional)
If you're willing, please download the ACPI patch from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36832&release_id=11156 2
Please report your observations either to me, or preferably to acpi-devel@sourceforge.net.
Thanks for your feedback!
Regards -- Andy
