Re: [linuxiran] Load Kernel Modules Automatically

[Aryan Ameri]

Hi there:

Patching 2.4.20 with acpi? IIRC the acpi patch was merged in to 2.4.23, 
or 2.4.22. Don't remember which one, but I am running 2.4.23 with ACPI 
enabled, and it's working like a charm. Try 2.4.24, it should have acpi 
support. Or better is to run 2.6.1, because acpi support in 2.6 is much 
better than 2.4

Theoricaly you should be able to patch your 2.4.20 with acpi, but 
adimtedly I didn't read your email fully to see what is making the 
problem in your case. However, is there any reason that you are running 
2.4.20? (Ruuning Libranet?) it's a pretty old kernel now with many 
known security holes.
