Guest Dragonfly Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hi, I have installed Mandrake 10 OE last week on my Compaq NX9005 laptop. The biggest problem I am having is with acpi. I have compiled the 2.6.6 kernel with the patch from acpi.sourceforge.net. I have included the acpi support in the kernel and left out APM. But I don't have any /proc/acpi folder in my system. No need to mention that when I edit grub configuration as acpi=on from acpi=ht, the system doesn't boot. rpm -aq | grep acpi doesn't return any results as well. Please please please, someone help me. I have compiled the kernel without the patch as well but always the same thing. # # Power management options (ACPI, APM) # CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y CONFIG_PM_DISK=y CONFIG_PM_DISK_PARTITION="" # # ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support # CONFIG_ACPI=y CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_FS=y CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y # CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set # CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA is not set # CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y CONFIG_X86_PM_TIMER=y # # APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support # # CONFIG_APM is not set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 the 2.6.6 kernel includes acpi and there is no need to patch it. Recompile without the patches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeter Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Don't know about your particular laptop, but on my thinkpad, I had the (same?) problem. In this case, the kernel stopped on IDE detection if I remember rightly. I recompiled without the option for thermal monitoring, and all was well. May not be the same problem (could be a different module, or something else completely), but might be a starting point. Assume you have already Googled for "Compaq NX9005 acpi" or something similar.

Guest rogin Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I think you NEED acpi=on in order to activate ACPI properly. Try "nolapic acpi=on" with grub. It stopped my Acer TM 8003 from hanging at boot. There's a known bug about this behaviour somwhere in th sourceforge ACPI bugzilla domain... Sorry I can't gicve you the link. I'm at work :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dragonfly Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I have solved the problem at last When configuring the kernel, I have disabled the "Local APIC support" from the processors submenu. Everything is working fine now with my laptop. Soooo happy with my Linux Thanks for your helps guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
