ACPI and SuSE 8.0

I saw a post a while back about patching the standard 2.4.18 SuSE kernel with an acpi patch from, I think, www.brodo.de/english/pub/acpi/pci_irq/index.html I can't get this to work and wondered if anyone else had any experience of this. I can't get my soundcard to work in my Toshiba Satellite 5005 because no IRQ is assigned to the soundcard. Or is tthere a later SuSE kernel available somewhere that might have better acpi support? Thanks der
