2.4.21-rc8-laptop1 problems

[Florian-Daniel Otel]

[Sorry if this should go to other list, e.g. "laptopkernel", "acpi" or
whatever, I've lost touch w/ kernel devel years ago. Thanks for
understanding and for any redirects to a better resource, if needed] 

Hello there,

Kernel: 

2.4.21-rc8 (presently 2.4.21) w/  ..-laptop1 "patch" (*cough*)

Intended use:  

Fujitsu LifeBook P2120, which doesn't get USB to
bootstrap OK (I got to do a "First boot to WinXP with attached USB
kbd/mouse  then warm boot to Linux then it works" voodoo magic in order to
get USB kbd/mouse to be found, even if the modules load OK
otherwise. Apparently my black magic ball says is the ACPI initializ. to blame.
I would happily appreciate any pointers/ideas/second oppinions. Detailed
"p2120 kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device
00:09.0" messages avail. on request :)).

In addition to that, I want swsusp to work as wonderfully as it does
now (2.4.20 + alim15x3 DMA patch + swsusp-beta17 patch+script). 

And world peace, thank you ;)

Problems when compiling 2.4.21-pre8-laptop1:

Problem 1)  AGP / agpgart:

If, in my .config:

[....]
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_AGP_I810=y
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD_8151 is not set
CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y
CONFIG_AGP_ALI=y
# CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set
CONFIG_DRM=y
# CONFIG_DRM_OLD is not set
[...]

the compilation breaks with:

Well, I can get around this by saying "N" to
"CONFIG_AGP_[INTEL,I810,VIA,AMD,SiS]"  since it's only AGP_ALI I'm
intrested in. Or shouldn't I be ? 

Problem 2 and much more serious)  ACPI (!!!!) 

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/nfs/__No_NFS/playground/linux-2.4.21-pre8-laptop1/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -malign-functions=0 -malign-jumps=0 -malign-loops=0 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /nfs/__No_NFS/playground/linux-2.4.21-pre8-laptop1/include/linux/modversions.h  -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=acpiphp_glue  -c -o acpiphp_glue.o acpiphp_glue.c

The relevant (?) parts from the .config: 

[...]

CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y

#

CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
# CONFIG_TCIC is not set

The compilation was done on a P4/Knoppix v3.2 (Debian unstable and egcs-2.95):

gcc -v 
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/specs
gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)

Any ideas ? How far behind is the acpi in 2.4.21 w.r.t. latest acpi patch ?

TIA,

Florian
