Oh yes, really!
Have you read my other bug report where I have mentioned that there is
a problem with ACPI and the keyboard unless I load the USB modules
(just in case you have not read the mail I add it at the end of this
one)? USB just make the problem to go away (may be erroneously).

Up to now every was compiled as modules.
If I try to compile ACPI inside the kernel, I got:
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-pre10-ac2/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 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=compat -c -o compat.o compat.c

The Makefile for building the kernel seems to be missing a dependence
(no, no, I have not forgotten to emit "make dep" after configuring the
kernel :-). As a workaround, I did:
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----
cd drivers/pci
gcc -o gen-devlist gen-devlist.c
./gen-devlist <pci.ids
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----
Apparently, compiling ACPI in the kernel, fixes the problem I have with the
keyboard. I will investigate to test if it also fixes the problem
with USB and SONYPI. I will tell you this by tomorrow morning.
Many thanks.
