Hello all new to this list

I have acpi troublw with the rc3 and rc4 2.6.29 kernels
The acpi tables in bios are nor read wel
and interupt handling is out of control


With the 2.6.27 kernels i never had this following type of errors
intalled the bios again to make sure the acpi tables are alright

the lines : [ds] using Core 2/Atom configuration

this is not a atom cpu

so i took out "perfmon" and ck804xrom.ko fom lib/modules

boot parameters are pnpacpi=no pci=noacpi acpi_irq_balance

in this way the kernel gives more or less the same info in Gkrellm as a 2.6.27

with out the boot parameters half the irq are routed to cpu 0
irq 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

2 not used pcie's irq 24 and irq25 are alwayes on cpu 0

alloc irq_desc for 24 on cpu 0 node 0
alloc kstat_irqs on cpu 0 node 0

alloc irq_desc for 25 on cpu 0 node 0
alloc kstat_irqs on cpu 0 node 0
