ACPI (Advanced Configuration And Power Configuration) not present on 2.6.38.8?
I need to disable some parts in ACPI, but it is
simply not present in kernel 2.6.38.8 (downloaded as a tar from net)? I can see the option in kernel 2.6.34-12 (default on OpenSuse 11.3), but not in the other one. What's the point that I am missing? P.S. Screen shots are from kernel 2.6.38.8. |
Unfortunately, your screenshots are unreadable (the resolution is too low).
Anyhow, of course ACPI is available in 2.6.38.8 vanilla kernel. Did you get yours directly from kernel.org? If not try this link. PS I am downloading it myself to double-check. |
This is the command I had issued to get that tar:
wget -c http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern....6.38.8.tar.gz The screen shots are very readable to me. I checked again. Try opening them in a new tab, please. |
This should be the same archive, only the compression method differ... 83% downloaded now, will tell you what I come up with.
Oh and for the screenshots you are right, I did a "save as" instead, my fault. |
Update:
From unix.stackexchange someone told me that disabling PCI can totally hide the ACPI option. I now enabled PCI and therefore I can see ACPI. Thanks anyways for the effort of downloading, Didier. |
You are welcome.
For the records, it is said in the config help for ACPI as well: Code:
Defined at drivers/acpi/Kconfig:5 │ |
Last word about that: you probably know that already but even though the menuconfig entry for ACPI doesn't show if PCI is disabled, you can still access the help for it searching ("/") for ACPI.
|
"/" ACPI search results in:
Code:
Symbol: ACPI_AC [=m] │ search won't be too helpful? Or will it be? |
Here with PCI disabled, "/" ACPI_AC results in:
Code:
Symbol: ACPI_AC [=y] │ Code:
Symbol: ACPI [=n] │ I didn't reuse an old .config, thus the only config option I did set up myself is PCI support disabled. |
