acpi is not enabled on my sony vaio laptop (no /proc/acpi) even tough it works fine (with custom kernel) on this laptop. If I understand the discussions on the mailing list right, it should be. Can you remove it from the black-list.

kernel-2.4.20-2.2 I just noted that I have to load the modules manuallay (I feel they should be loeded automatically on a laptop). However, the information returned by battery and ac_adapter are totally wrong and power management does not work (fan is running all the time). Everything wokrs fine if I use a stock 2.4.20 kernel with the latest acpi patch.
