Anyone know if/when the cvs snapshots will cleanly apply against the
2.4.22-pre1 kernel?  I'd really like to use it, as the acpi support is
significantly better than what was in 2.4.21(-final).


why not applying the acpi patch only?

They have a pretty acpi-20030619-2.4.21.diff.gz on www.sf.net/projects/acpi

What do you mean by 'only'?  That is the patch that i tried to apply,
however i don't even think its neccesary in 2.4.22-pre1, because its
already been updated with the same patches.

as i've understood it, if you're interested only in new acpi
features of 2.4.22-pre1 (and of course in XFS), you can download the
current XFS cvs kernel (2.4.21 based) and apply the latest acpi
patch (against 2.4.21).

This merge should have the acpi bits you want.

You have to resolve 1 trivial reject (induced by KDB) in
arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c


How trivial are we talking about?  My C is about as good as 'hello world'
:)


Its just adding 'include <linux/acpi.h>' and you don't need to be a C master to find out where from the .rej file ;-) (better be vi-master, hahaha).
