Hello,

i have tried to install ACPI 
but i have some problems during the install procedure:

i have the knoppix version 2.4.19-xfs.

at first i downloaded the file
acpi-20020918-2.4.19.diff.gz
from the ACPI homepage.

then i copied the file into /usr/src
then i run: 
gunzip acpi-20020726-2.4.18.diff.gz
cd linux
patch -p1 <../acpi-20020726-2.4.18.diff

After that i got the follwing message:

can't find file to patch at input line 206
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

Subject: [hsflinux] Problems with Conextant-Ambit SoftK56 on Sony laptop
!

hello,

sory for my bad english.
i have a sony vaio PCG-GRX616MP laptop and i am trying to install my
modem on a
debian (knoppix) linux system (version 2.4.19-xfs).
my modem is the
Conextant-Ambit SoftK56 Data,Fax ICH Modem 8086:2486

but all i do ... the modem does not work. i read the articles in this
forum and found many
persons, who habe the same problem as i. but no tip worked.

i did the following steps:
at first i downloaded the
hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxbeta03042700.tar driver from the homepage
www.linuxant.com
(HSF (softmodem) driver)

then i installed the driver with 'make install' and then with
'hsfconfig'.
after that i changed the county to GERMANY with 'hsfconfig --country'.

then i started 'modconf'.
i changed into 'misc' and loaded the module 'hsfengine'.
then i loaded the module 'hsfserial'.

after that the following lines are written in /var/log/syslog:
May 10 19:02:48 laptop insmod: Warning: loading

then i run a few commands:

i could find the follwing lines in /etc/modules.conf
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/hsf
alias /dev/ttySHSF0 hsfserial
alias char-major-240 hsfserial
alias /dev/ttyCUA* hsfserial
alias char-major-241 hsfserial
alias /dev/modem hsfserial
options hsfserial serialmajor=240 calloutmajor=241

### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/hsf

the link /dev/modem is there and the file ttySHSF0, too:
root at laptop:/dev# ls -l ttyS*
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     dialout    4,  64 May 10 18:11 ttyS0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     dialout    4,  65 May 14  2002 ttyS1
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     dialout    4,  66 Apr 15  2001 ttyS2
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     dialout    4,  67 Apr 15  2001 ttyS3
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     240,  64 May 10 17:56 ttySHSF0

now i configured the ppp conection 'provider' with pppconfig
In pppconfig i used the link /dev/modem

after running 'pon' the following lines are written in /var/log/syslog
May 10 19:14:00 laptop kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the
University of California
May 10 19:14:00 laptop kernel: PPP generic driver version 2.4.2

May 10 19:14:01 laptop pppd[2543]: Connect script failed
May 10 19:14:02 laptop pppd[2543]: Exit.

now i read in an article, that i should try the boot command
'pci=biosirq' on the lili promt.
but that did not work. still the same problems.

then i tried the boot command 'pci=acpi'. still the same problems.

here is my lili.conf (without the two boot commands):
boot=/dev/hda3
vga=791
prompt
timeout=50
append = "hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi
hdh=scsi apm=power-off noapic"

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-xfs
        label=knoppix
        root=/dev/hda3
        read-only


#other=/dev/hda1
#        label=freedos
#        table=/dev/hda

here the data from the modem with the listmodem programm:
Build Number : 2600

=====================================================================

MODEM #1:

     SUBVENDOR NAME         : UNKNOWN
     MODEM TYPE             : HSF
     WINXP INBUILD SUPPORT  : NO

installed correctly?

Perhaps try adding [newer] ACPI support to your kernel:
