[adding linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to cc] acpi=off used to be handled by acpi_bus_register_driver() for these drivers. But now acpi_lock_ac_dir() and acpi_lock_battery_dir() for procfs are inserted before that in the _init functions. This will be a problem for sbs.c also. Vladimir, Any reason that the procfs stuff can't be after the acpi_bus_register_driver() calls? Under what conditions could these lock functions fail? -Len >-----Original Message----- >From: Pavel Machek [mailto:pavel@xxxxxx] >Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2006 8:44 AM >To: kernel list; Andrew Morton; Brown, Len >Subject: [patch] fix boot with acpi=off > >With acpi=off and acpi_ac/battery compiled into kernel, acpi breaks >boot.
