Package: kernel-source-2.4.27
Version: 2.4.27-8
Followup-For: Bug #296639
I have been monitoring kernel.org for any problems caused by the timer
override patch that I submitted earlier and that is included in
2.4.27-8.experimental.1 (and Linus's 2.4.30-pre2).
Unfortunately, a couple of bugs have cropped up. I attach the patches,
which I grabbed from kernel.org. They apply unaltered to
2.4.27-8.experimental.1.
On a brighter note, I have been running for a few weeks now with the
patch and I have had no problems. Also, I mentioned to Horms that I
had experienced hard lock-ups both before and after applying this patch.
It turns out that I had been overclocking my AthlonXP a bit too hard and
now everything is rock solid. Clock gain still occurs but no worse than
before. I believe this to be a known flaw with the Abit NF7-S
motherboard.

# [PATCH] acpi.h needs <linux/init.h>
#
# the recent acpi merge in 2.4-BK broke compilation of a few external patches
# (eg: iptable_string), because it declares check_acpi_pci() as void __init,
# while linux/init.h is not included.
#
# Here is a trivial patch which solves the problem.
