Description of problem:
After upgrading the kernel from kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 to kernel-2.6.12-1.1376_FC3 ACPI don't work.

Because of this my IRQs don't match - my network card (8139too) don't work:

Comment 1 Christian Weiss 2005-09-07 18:24:02 UTC

I found the following
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5162

Maybe fixed in ACPI 20050902.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-09-24 05:58:12 UTC

This should be fixed in the latest errata, which includes 20050902 + some extra
acpi fixes.

Comment 3 Christian Weiss 2005-09-24 10:44:38 UTC

It is.
kernel-2.6.12-1.1378_FC3 do his ACPI job fine.
