Just to followup, I've downloaded, compiled and installed 2.6.0 and Len Brown's ACPI patch on my Dell Precision 610MT box and it's works just fine. I was never able to get 2.6.0-test11 with ACPI to work, though I never put in Len's patch on there.
The system is up and running now in SMP mode, so I think once 2.6.1 comes out with the ACPI updates, we should be all set.
I've got the following ACPI configuration options setup:
CONFIG_ACPI=y CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y CONFIG_ACPI_AC=m CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=m CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=m CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=m CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=m CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=m CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS=m CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y CONFIG_ACPI_RELAXED_AML=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_ACPI=y
If I get a chance over Xmas, I'll see about changing the RELAXED_AML stuff as well. But looking at my interrupts, they certainly don't seem too balanced:
> cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 0: 31862628 48 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 504 1 IO-APIC-edge i8042 2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 4 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 11: 0 1 IO-APIC-edge Cyclom-Y 12: 25139 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 14906 0 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 11947 0 IO-APIC-edge ide1 17: 6346 1 IO-APIC-level eth0 18: 46860 1 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx, aic7xxx 19: 140 0 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx NMI: 0 0 LOC: 31867092 31867091 ERR: 0 MIS: 0
I've got the following APIC config settings:
CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y
So I think that 2.6.1 and higher will work out of the box for the problematic Dell boxes, once the right ACPI patches get added.
