Bug#525625: linux-image-2.6.26: Fix incorrect ACPI blacklisting of ASUS P4B266 mainboards

[Olivier Berger <oberger@ouvaton.org>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686
Version: 2.6.26-15
Severity: normal
File: linux-image-2.6.26

The ASUS P4B266 mainboard is blacklisted in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c. For ACPI to work (S3 suspend for instance), acpi=force needs to be passed at boot.

This can should be fixed in the kernel however, as reported in http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=123825445916546&w=2

I proposed a patch in http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=124068823904429&w=2 which currently works when applied to Debian kernel sources.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
