Subject: Problems with ACPI and compiling kernel on Toshiba 2450-101


> Hello Everybody,
>
> I write you to show a problem with the acpi control.
> I have a Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 and as I know from this site
> http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/index.html my Satellite is supported
> by Linux.
> When I've installed RedHat 8 or 9 but also Slackware 9 with  kernel 2.4.20
> downloaded from www.linux.org  the acpi want not supported. From this site
> http://www.condorito.org/Toshiba/#acpi I've  read that it was necessary to
> patch the kernel so I've patched with patch-2.4.21-rc1. The pach was
> installed very well.
> So with make xconfig in the section acpi I've found the toshiba extras and
> other option. When I've compiled the kernel there were some errors,
probably
> the same that I've today. I have  also installed acpi.**rpm
>   But a friend has given me the Mandrake 9.1 kernel mandrake 2.4.21-13. I
> have installed it with default installation. The acpi  works i can see the
> status of battery but there was a process "keventd" which uses 99% of my
> system.
> http://www.condorito.org/Toshiba/#acpi  I have read  <<Due to an
> incompatibility with recent ACPI patches, you will also need to edit the
> file /usr/src/linux(-2.4.21-rc1)/drivers/acpi/events/evrgnini.c. At line
> 293:
>
> acpi_os_derive_pci_id (node, region_obj->region.node, &pci_id);
>
> Comment it out so that it reads:
>
> /*acpi_os_derive_pci_id (node, region_obj->region.node, &pci_id);*/
>
> NOTE: If your kernel/distro already has ACPI support (Mandrake and SuSE
for
> example), this is the only step you will need to do. If you don't, you
will
> see the "keventd" process using up to 99% of your CPU, slowing down the
> entire OS. >>
>
> I've applied this advice but when I recompile the kernel
> The compilation gives an error that I copy in the file errors.
> But also without changing evrgnini.c. give an error (error2).
>
> When I recompile the kernel with acpi as modules the compilation works
> without errors but at boot acpid does not start because /proc/acpi/evennts
> no such file...
> And when I launch the command acpi from bash the output was ACPI not
> supported in the kernel
>
> In the file enclosed in my mail there was the file with compilation errors
> The contents of usr/src/linux/drivers/acpi/
> My gcc version
> My kernel configuration
> The kernel configuration of mandrake installation
> The /var/log/acpid when acpid works but keventd uses 99% of my system
>

> Tanks everybody   for your support
