It's been built-in since 3.2.10-1. > On my 3,6,2 I built from source, every time I try to load it I have this > error: > > [ 650.277617] acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5 > [ 650.278069] acpiphp_glue: can't evaluate _ADR (0x5) > > Which I also found in mike dmesg log. > > So I'm thinking that maybe since 3.6, there is a "fix" that prevents the > module from being loaded if it can't. I found this: > http://www.mail-archive.com/stable@vger.kernel.org/msg18981.html [...] That fix ('PCI: acpiphp: check whether _ADR evaluation succeeded') causes acpiphp to give up on some devices that it can't or shouldn't handle. It doesn't necessarily stop acpiphp from being loaded, if it's a module. That fix was originally made in 3.6-rc1 and then included in 3.5.7, 3.2.31 and other stable updates. But you reported this bug was still present in Debian's 3.2.32-1, so I don't think they are related. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings friends: People who know you well, but like you anyway.
