ACPI experience

[Paul Herman]

Hey there,

Just a minor heads up, I had a box (Aug 4 kernel) just lock up on 
me and wouldn't boot back up.  After Matt fixed the acpi timeout() 
deadlock bug back around August 2nd-ish, it ran for about 2 weeks 
but now for some reason it freezes in the same place, right before 
going into multi-user.

I was able to break into DDB but the only thing on the stack was 
the keyboard interrupt handler with lwkt_exit() at the very top. 
I'm guessing that's another deadlock?  So, for now I'm running just 
fine without acpi.ko so I can save myself more trips down to the 
colo.  :-)

Anyway, I just thought I'd share to perhaps prevent some unwanted 
grief for some of you.

-Paul.
