Hi How do I enable ACPI with the debian kernel package kernel-image-2.4.22-1-686 (in Sarge)? I see that ACPI has been disabled by default with this kernel (closing bugs #210512, #210563, #210727, #211594). However, when I boot with "acpi=on" as a kernel argument, I get no ACPI. Dmesg shows "ACPI: Interpreter disabled." And, predictably, trying to modprobe battery, thermal or ac modules all complain "No such device". Note that booting with a kernel.org 2.4.22 provides me with working ACPI, including ac, battery, thermal. With this standard kernel I get "ACPI: Interpreter enabled" and lots of normal ACPI dmesg output.
Some relevant output follows: $ uname -a Linux laptop-sd.ucc.usyd.edu.au 2.4.22-1-686 #6 Sat Oct 4 14:09:08 EST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux $ dmesg |grep -i acpi ACPI: have wakeup address 0xc0001000 Kernel command line: hda=ide-scsi ro vga=773 root=/dev/hdc3 acpi=on ACPI: Subsystem revision 20030813 ACPI: Interpreter disabled.
