Hi,

I'm a new Gentoo user having some problems with ACPI.

I installed 1.4rc2 on my Inspiron 4100 without problem. My kernel is 2.4.19-gentoo-r10 and I think it's configured right for ACPI, since dmesg says:

Code:
...
ACPI: Core Subsystem version [20011018]
ACPI: Subsystem enabled
...


But no /proc/acpi

Any Idea?

I don't know a lot about ACPI but I would suggest two things:
1. Make sure your bios is up-to-date.
2. Several times I've seen Kerframil suggest using the 'acpi4linux' USE flag. He says that it will cause a considerably newer ACPI core to be patched against the kernel. I use this USE flag with my laptop and when i use dmesg I get:
Code:
ACPI: Subsystem revision 20020918

which is nearly a year newer than the 20011018 than the ACPI core you currently have.

Recompiling my kernel with "acpi4linux" in USE doesn't update the ACPI.
Checking USE manual I found "acpi" as USE flag, but the ACPI version doesn't change...

Download 2.4.20 and the latest ACPI patch from acpi.sourceforge.net

Why ACPI ?
Dell's Inspiron line's working well with APM ( got my i8200 working just fine.... )

xr31Daisy, you were right. I disabled ACPI support and APM works perfectly.

Merci...
