[gentoo-user] ACPI problem
Hi All, While I am emerging stuff I noticed that the fan is hunting up down and dmesg/syslog are filling up continuously with these error messages: ACPI Exception (evgpe-0576): AE_NOT_FOUND, while evaluating GPE method [_L1C] [20070126] ACPI Error (psargs-0355): [\_TZ_.THRM] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_GPE._L1C] (Node c17f33b0), AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Exception (evgpe-0576): AE_NOT_FOUND, while evaluating GPE method [_L1C] [20070126] ACPI Error (psargs-0355): [\_TZ_.THRM] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_GPE._L1C] (Node c17f33b0), AE_NOT_FOUND Any idea how I could fix this? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Init 0 did not seem to make a change, then I looked at all the BIOS options and turned off some settings that were on, or reverse - not always understanding what they were to do. Now it seems to work correctly. Perhaps it was a setting that said the power button should wake the computer? Thierry -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] ACPI problem on Compaq
Hello, I've got an older Compaq EVO D510 desktop that I was thinking to setup as a lab machine (that should be also used by people who basicaly have no Linux knowledge). I've installed Gentoo on it and it works well but for one thing: When I want sto shut it down, it reboots! This happens as well from KDE as from the command line with shutdown -h now: the machine does shut down, then auto-reboots. I've thought it might be linked to ACPI - so I added noacpi acpi=off (I don't know why but it seems I need both to make grub understand) and now it shuts down and stpos, but does not turn off... and if I push the power button, it reboots. Just now I'm thinking I should look if APM is compiled into the kernel, I did a genkernel all so I assume it is. Any idea as to what other possibilities exist to tell that machine just to shut down and turn off? Thierry -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Check if there's a newer BIOS for your board. It's always a possibility (albeit a long shot) that the current BIOS has some sort of ACPI bug that prevents it from behaving properly in this situation. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
