[ACPI-sppt] Problems with Abit BX-133 RAID - 100% load by keventd

Hi,

I'm experiencing problems with latest ACPI (20030916) against latest
stable kernel (2.4.23-pre4).

I suppose the problem is near interrupt routing stuff:

When I 'touch' /dev/ttyS0 in any way, keventd starts loading the processor
to 100% - for example 'cat /dev/ttyS0' means that the machine si nearly
unusable. Worse thing is, that sometimes (esepecially during transfering
data to my PDA - Pilot IIIxe) the keventd 'lockup' doesn't vanish when
operations with serial port end. Meanwhile, in /proc/interrupts in line

  9:      84054          XT-PIC  acpi, bttv, usb-uhci

the number of interrupts generated by ACPI increases rapidly.

I'v got (I know, pretty old) MB ABit BX-133 RAID. Obviously, I'd to add
acpi=force to bootparams to make ACPI work.

I'd like to post more info (lspci,dsdt, etc.), but I don't want to mess
the mailinglist, so if anyone interested, I'll be glad to send all the
necessary stuff personally.

Every suggestion welcome :)

Yours,


--ZK
