from IBM, it is supported then. Otherwise, you are
on your own. Personal experience here on the latter.

Hi,
if your notebook is quite recent it's possibly an ACPI only laptop. In ACPI
systems IRQ routing is done by the ACPI subsystem. You should try ACPI
patches from sourceforge site (http://www.sf.net/projects/acpi) and enable
API IRQ routing in kernel config.
Can't you see anything ACPI relate
So far I managed to use all, but the modem. I will try that
pciirq.19.acpi.diff path. I knew about the acpi-20020503 patch, this
allowed me to use the sound card.
Can you send a .config for the 2.4.18 kernel, please?
Thank you,
Ionel
