Hi,

The kernel version mentioned in the subject won't boot because the ACPI
system does not get initialized; the system freezes on an outb() in
acpi_os_write_port() i.e. it does not do anything anymore and just hangs.

Here is the `stack trace' I managed to extract via debugging output:

        -- acpi_os_write_port(0xb2, 240, 8)
        -- acpi_hw_set_mode(ACPI_SYS_MODE_ACPI)
        -- acpi_enable()
        -- acpi_enable_subsystem(~ACPI_NO_ACPI_ENABLE)
        -- acpi_early_init()
        ...

Notes:
        * acpi_os_write_port(): I printk'd the arguments; the port
          formatted with %#x and the value with %u.

        * acpi_enable_subsystem(): I removed ACPI_NO_HARDWARE_INIT
          from the arguments because it is not used anymore.
          In this context I want to mention that it probably can be
          removed from include/acpi/actypes.h generally.

Random question:

        I noticed that acpi_gbl_FADT is declared in
        include/acpi/acglobal.h but where is it actually defined and
        initialized?

HTH,
Hannes
