A colleague and I are between a rock and a hard place on this one.  Without 
ACPI we get these compile errors, with ACPI the kernel hangs on boot (either 
on the eepro100 network card, his machine, or when probling the 3ware card, 
my machine), followed by a hard hang.

Both of us require XFS and have been forced to revert to 2.4.18-xfs as a 
result of this.

Where in make menuconfig does one turn off the local (IO)APIC-settings?  I 
couldn't find a reference in the menus, so I tried editing them out of the 
.config file by hand, along with shutting off ACPI as another post suggested, 
and that resulted in compiletime errors as well.

Has anyone managed to get gentoo-sources 2.4.19-r4 to compile, with XFS 
support, and boot without hanging? If so, could you perhaps post a copy of 
your .config to use as a starting point?  As it now stands, -r4 simply 
doesn't work (although ironicly earlier XFS patches to -r1 worked great ... 
go figure).

thanks in advance,

Jean.
