[BUG] 2.4.22 ACPI hangs up NFORCE2 system when using kudzu

From: JSTHEMASTER
Date: Sun Sep 21 2003 - 15:30:07 EST


[1.]
When using Kernel 2.4.22 (<= 2.4.21 works perfectly) ACPI on a system with NFORCE2 chipset the system hangs when starting
kudzu without any output or log-entry!

[2.]
If you enable kernel 2.4.22 ACPI on a system running NFORCE2 chipset (I got a MSI K7N2 Delta-L mainboard) the system hangs
when using kudzu (Redhat Hardware detection tool, any version) without any output or log entry. I'm sorry, I was unable to monitor any crash dump information because the whole system hung up and didn't write any data. Kernels 2.4.21 or lower work fine.


[3.]
acpi, kudzu, nforce2, k72n delta-l, hwacpi, kernel 2.4.22

[4.] Linux version 2.4.22 (root@mrsuicide) (gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)) #1 Fre Aug 8 02:24:50 CEST 2003

[5.] No message or log entry.

[6.] Get a NFORCE2 board and try kernel 2.4.22 with acpi.

[X.] If nothing works, a simple downgrade of ACPI modules would fix the problem...
