More ACPI funnies in 2.6.0test1

More ACPI funnies in 2.6.0test1

[Trever L. Adams]

Alright, same board here, Asus A7N8X-Deluxe (nVidia nForce 2).  I have
pci=noacpi.  However, if I leave ACPI on, I get two funnies:

1) My disk seems to be more active, I hear it clicking much more
2) When eth0 gets shutdown on power off, it freezes.  However, I just
tried to force it by manually shutting it off and it works fine.

I will provide the sysrq output later today when I will have more paper
around to write down the output.

This box works fine with pci=noacpi and acpi=off.  So, I am just trying
to figure out how to get it to work fine with the power stuff working,
even if the irq related part is broken.  It would be nice to fix it all
actually.

Any chance this is due to increased logging activity to files that are
marked synchronous (with a -) in syslog.conf?

At least in /etc/syslog.conf on my RH9/RH Rawhide system there is no a-
anywhere in the syslog.conf.  Not only that, but I don't seem to have
much more logging going on, in fact maybe a bit less.  Exceptions:
smartd (which seems to only log about once an hour, so this isn't it)
and a few places where char 188 and char 10_133, I think it is, are not
found (just fixed this, and this doesn't happen much either).

Ok, I was mistaken.  ACPI has nothing to do with it.  I got an actual
oops on shutdown without it.  It was in the ip 6 routing code.  Attached
is a bunch of alt-sysrq-p from when it gets stuck trying to down eth0. 
The program running at the time was ip... said something like ip 6 route
del in ps xa.  That was the program running.  The oopses were induced,
it is gzip because I have so many.  I will try to trigger the real oops
and show it here in this thread.

Actually, I will attach the log after I know that P and T in sysrq don't
leak passwords and such.  I am not entirely sure what is or isn't in
something like:

Anyway, I will continue to try and get a real oops.  I will post this
once someone lets me know it is safe.
