------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-04-26 18:41 ------- so when the i2c-i801 driver is not loaded, ACPI works properly? I'm not aware of any Linux-level locking that is necessary or appropriate for the i2c driver to coordinate access to the i2c bus with the ACPI EC driver. The ACPI EC driver has a notion of using the ACPI global lock to coordinate access with BIOS SMI code, but in practice, only very old systems set the bits that enable the use of that lock by the EC driver. Perhaps we should simply not be loading the ACPI EC driver and the i2c driver at the same time? (Note that the EC driver is built-into the Linux ACPI implementation -- so what we're really talking about here is running the i2c driver only when acpi=off.) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
