    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.
    PCI: ACPI tables contain no PCI IRQ routing entries

    Relevant GRUB entry:
    "title Debian Linux (kernel 2.4.22)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-686 hda=ide-scsi ro vga=773 root=/dev/hdc3 ac
    pi=on 1
    initrd /initrd.img-2.4.22-1-686"

    Regards
    Damien
