Sorry for the very late reply, I've been on the Cc of two kacpi_notify
bugs and one was not the problem, and I was deleting both emails as they
came in thinking they were the one I was ignoring. I just noticed that
the bug I had was closed due to my unresponsiveness. Sorry about that,
this was my wife's desktop and once I got it working, it became very low
priority (and I basically forgot about it).


Anyway here's the info on the box if your are still interested:

# grep . /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/*

/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe_all: 0
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/sci: 0
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/sci_not: 1

Note, this is a desktop not a laptop.

I don't see a acpidump utility installed, nor do I see anywhere in
fedora 12 that would install it.

After reverting the one patch, everything seemed to work (although it
still crashes here and there, but I think that's a video driver bug).

I'll help investigate this if you want. But it may take time. The box
does belong to my wife and I need to wait for her to finish with it
before I can take a look ;-) Well, I can ssh in, but to try patches or
anything else requiring reboots, will have to wait till she's off of it.
