Compilation error acpi-20020725-2.4.18

Compilation error acpi-20020725-2.4.18

[Birger Peer Küpper]

Hello,
I`ve patched a 2.4.18 vanilla Kernel with the acpi-20020725-2.4.18.diff Patch.

During compilation I got some errors like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Has anyone any Idea what`s wrong?

Thanks a lot....

There's a problem with a define.  I fixed it on my box but I'm now getting
an oops on bootup; this oops might be due to some other problem with ACPI on
my system.  You could TRY to add #define ACPI_DISASSEMBLER to the top of
drivers/acpi/include/platform/acenv.h and rebuild, but I would not recommend
it, at least not until some of the experienced ACPI kids have looked at it.

I'll also be posting more information soon, I think.

Linus Torvalds reported the same error, I'm sure there will be a fix
soon :)

I just removed all references to that 'name' field to make it compile.  It
seems to work once you do that.

It's in a debug message, so turning off acpi debug should get things at
least compiling again.

I'm sure it's an easy fix, so I'll get on it, and post again when it's
fixed. Turning on ACPI_DISASSEMBLER is *not* the correct solution.
