Hi!
I'm attempting to upgrade a server to amd64 CURRENT from an older snapshot.
I have "MODULES_OVERRIDE= acpi" in make.conf but apparently only the
acpi_*.ko files are being built, not acpi.ko itself. As a result, acpi.ko
is not being loaded on boot.
This used to work on 6.2, so I'm not sure where to look. This happens on a
GENERIC kernel config. My src.conf has the following:

Since ACPI is mandatory on amd64, it's included in GENERIC. Not sure why it
wouldn't be building as a module for you, but if you're using an
unmodified GENERIC then you're already getting it included.

When I looked earlier today it looks like the sys/modules/acpi Makefiles
would just refuse if you tried.

This is a (makefile-)documented bug:

.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "amd64"
_aac= aac
#_acpi= acpi # doesn't work on amd64 yet

# acpi is not enabled because it is broken as a module on ia64
