===================

Dell - Inspiron 4000 laptop



>Description:


The problem is in the acpi.ko module.  Until recently - I could use an older
version of the module and it worked fine.  But recent changes to the
kernel have rendered this oloder module unusable.

During bootup - no apm module is created in /dev - so apm does not work
and there is no battery monitoring or other apm features available.

Disabling acpi does not work as my sound ceases to function - no mixer
device is created.  All in all - this bug is creating many different problems
and needs a fix.

The following is the output from dmesg after booting:
