This means we are unable to set the IDE controller transfer timings after the

I wonder if those are included in Ubuntu's kernel (I'm being dumb today,

nor which exact version they started from.

(The source filename is linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22-5.11.tar.gz)

http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/hibernation_and_suspend/2.6.22-rc2/patches/16-usb-use-freezable-workqueue.patch

  Is this anything to worry about - should I post a dsdt for the new

Looking at the ACPI 3.0 spec:

_STM Optional control method that sets the IDE controller’s transfer
timing sttings. IDE-only

(IE. shouldn't be called for an SATA drive). That may mean its for my CD
writer (which shows up as hda). This is in the first SSDT, HPQSAT
which I've attached the dissasembly of.

 This means we are unable to set the IDE controller transfer timings
after the
 resume.  I don't know how serious this is in practice, though.

iasl decompiles and recompiles the dsdt and all ssdt ok (after minor
tweaking due to decompile discrepancies).

The remaining warnings only relate to _BCQ (A Microsoft induced typo for
_BQC?)


And, unreachable code in the _STA method of the ACEL device. (They
have blanked that function off with a Return (0x00). Thats a shame - if
it means what I think (that the acceleration sensor doesn't work).

Many places in the ACEL device code check If (_STA ()) around big blocks
of code, so presumably the AML code for it is not doing a great deal. (I
wounder how Windows uses it - a custom driver perhaps?)

Thanks for the great work on suspend / resume (and of course ACPI
support in general) everyone!

AFAIK, I'm on the current bios.. I updated it when I initially had
problems with CPU Frequency scaling. I'll check.

Kernel.. still debugging with the Ubuntu one, but will try a fresh
vanilla one when I get free time (not needing the machine for work).

I've tried booting with init=/bin/sh to drop me into the initrd of the
system, then grabbed an acpidump when booting on battery. It was the
same as AC.

Manually bootstrapping the root file-system, (not via normal init),
allowed me to play about with what might cause the lockup, and it seems
that it may be related to the Intel wireless driver: ipw3945.

When I loaded it, it failed to find firmware - no crash. (I'd not got
udev running to help hotplug the firmware for it).

I loaded udev, and re-tried loading the wireless. Appologies that this
crash dump is a type-up, I think the key points should be here - no
time-stamps, but a full trace is listed.

Ok, I've tested acpi=off and apm=off with the stock Ubuntu kernel. It
didn't softlock with either, but I'll try to use one of the two when
booting now to ensure it is consistent.

with acpi=off, there was a backtrace printed from an unloved IRQ11, and
the sound card wasn't particularly happy. These HP laptops seem very
picky - perhaps I should buy an IBM next time for linux!

I've filed a bug, #7840, http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7840

It is under ACPI/Other. Attached to that bug is dmesg output from the
normal AC boot, and battery boots with acpi=off, api=off, also an
acpidump output from the normal AC boot.

I will check the bios, and vanilla kernel tests when I get chance.
Unfortunately, it seems quite hard to get a kernel config which exactly
matches a stock Ubuntu one (for keeping as few variables changed as
possible). I can recompile a kernel source deb for Ubuntu quite happily,
but it produces a huge number of versions, and takes many many hours
(brings me back to using linux on a [34]86 :))

Thanks for your input Luming, Len.

I got several reports that compiling psmouse as module and unload it

E.g. this report:
About the fan and battery issue, there are three workaround:
 - Turn off the machine and quit battery, Place the battery again.
 - Next time you turn on the machine, turn it off during post.
 - modprobe -r psmouse (after compiling psmouse as a module) before
shutdown the machine.
Next time you turn on the machine, battery status is working. Not sure
about the fans...

 I got several reports that compiling psmouse as module and unload it
 explicitly on shutdown helps to fix things on newer HPs.
 
 E.g. this report:
 About the fan and battery issue, there are three workaround:
  - Turn off the machine and quit battery, Place the battery again.
  - Next time you turn on the machine, turn it off during post.
  - modprobe -r psmouse (after compiling psmouse as a module) before
 shutdown the machine.
 Next time you turn on the machine, battery status is working. Not sure
 about the fans...

My fans seemed to work ok most of the time before, it was the battery
status which hung, and the speedstep would never go to full speed.

Everything is happy with Ubuntu's kernel 2.6.17-10 and when unloading
psmouse as part of the shutdown and reboot scripts.

I did dig though psmouse a little, but being a non-expert, couldn't see
anything odd.

It could be the synaptics driver part I guess, as most people have
laptops.

It could be that psmouse keeps a serial driver of some sort alive, or a
bus active. Perhaps it is still receiving and processing interrupts as
the bios tries to reboot? Does someone need to open a kernel bug for
this, and where should it go?

Regards

Peter Clifton.

 Perhaps even booting windows
 (to downgrade to F.06) had some effect on the bios to bring back the
 SSDT? Perhaps it is only in the F.06.

Further to this.. the Battery / AC adapter status monitoring seems to be
working now aswell (if booting with ec_intr=0). I just booted with out
ec_intr=0, and it isn't working :(

I'm just about to check with the F.06 DSDT again, as my override DSDT is
based on F.08. (There isn't much difference between them though)

How odd!

Of course, this was _necessary_, as the namespaces between the two DSDT
is different, and the SSDT won't play nice if it can't find the correct
objects, methods, etc...

Wierdly, I've lost the Battery/AC adapter status monitoring again, with
or without ec_intr=0.

 How odd!

Gets odder!
