ACPI: Remove Dell Optiplex GX240 from the ACPI blacklist
I have a Dell Optiplex GX240 and when I boot Linux, ACPI gets set up by only acpi=ht. dmesg shows the following line: DELL GX240 detected: force use of acpi=ht Everything seemed to be fine. However, I discovered that everything is not fine. The USB controller works so slowly that copying a few (uncached) 1 megabyte large photos from a USB-enabled digital camera takes many minutes instead of a couple of seconds. I am using Linux 2.6.21.1 on a Debian 4.0 ("Etch") system. I thought that this might be related to ACPI. So I tried to boot with _only_ "acpi=force" appended to the kernel command line. Voila, the USB controller started to work at full speed and copying photos from my digital camera took only seconds. I tested the system with "acpi=force" and could not find anything which did not work. I thought that this might be related to interrupts and APIC as well. (Note that this is APIC, not ACPI.) I tried booting with _only_ "noapic" and "nolapic" appended to the command line. Again, the USB controller started to work at full speed.
