[Brown, Len]

Stephan,
Looks like this is ACPI specific and applies to all releases.

Please file an ACPI bug with the details below so we can get to the
bottom of it.

Thanks,
-Len

How to file a bug against ACPI:

Component: ACPI

Please attach /proc/interrupts and the dmesg output showing the failure,
if possible;
And the same for the success case (pci=noacpi).

Please attach the output from lspci -v

Please attach the output from acpidmp, available in /usr/sbin/, or in
here

Hello Len,

sorry for delayed answer.
Actually I never tried 2.6 on this box. Regarding earlier 2.4 I can only tell
you that SuSE 9.0 kernel (some patched 2.4.21-whoeverdidwhatever) does not boot
either with acpi-enabled.

Yes, works.

> or "noapic"?

No, does not work.

Hope that helps.

Stephan

Did earlier 2.4 or 2.6 kernels with ACPI configured work properly on
this box?

Does the failing kernel do any better if you tell it to boot with
"pci=noacpi" or "noapic"?

Problem Report 2.4.23 ACPI and ASUS TRL-DLS

[Stephan von Krawczynski]

Hello,

I just found out that enabling ACPI (kernel 2.4.23) on an ASUS TRL-DLS board
leads to a failing boot, caused by not configuring the onboard scsi aic
interfaces. In fact they are simply gone from the pci list (no kidding).
Disabling ACPI leads to a perfectly working box with:
