Description of problem:
I have installed Fedora Core Rawhide (starting from Test 3) onto my IBM
ThinkPad T42 system. I could get almost everything to work including
ACPI. However, enabling  software suspend breaks kernel compilation
and the source is the 4g4g patch. Removing this patch ofcourse affects
other patches and so on. Is there a solution to this problem for notebook
users? Or, is it possible to have a self-contained 4g4g patch that can be
easily removed?
Thanks

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.9-1.643

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install kernel source rpm
2.enable software config under acpi
3.try to rebuild

you can just disable the CONFIG_X86_4G config option if you're rebuilding.
Neither self-built kernels, nor swsusp are supported, so this is unlikely
to change anytime soon.
