Summary: ACPI Exception breaking Thinkpad T43 since 2.6.22-rc Product: ACPI Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: 2.6.22 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: Other AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.21 Distribution: Debian testing/unstable Hardware Environment: Thinkpad T43 Problem Description: Problem discussed a little bit during 2.6.22 release cycle in the thread starting at: http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=118176713206066&w=2 without getting any useful feedback. The whole dmesg and config is available there, I can repost them here if needed. I am reporting the bug here now since it still occurs with the final 2.6.22. For several weeks, I experienced multiple times the following problem. Suddenly (I have no idea how to reproduce it), the internal keyboard and mouse become unresponsive and Gnome applets complain that they cannot read events ACPI anymore. /var/log/messages shows the following errors: [ 8379.800000] ACPI Exception (evregion-0420): AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] [20070126] [ 8379.800000] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed

8650.060000] ACPI Exception (battery-0206): AE_TIME, Evaluating _BST [20070126] 2 seconds before that, I also get: tp-fancontrol[4355]: Shutting down, switching to automatic fan control I don't whether it could be a cause of the problem or a consequence of the same bug (I'd say the latter). Removing/reinserting as many ACPI modules as possible does not seem to help. Only reboot helps. But, apart from these input devices, the machine seems to work fine (logging by ssh shows everything ok apart from ACPI stuff). Plugging a USB mouse works fine, but the internal mouse/keyboard remains disabled until reboot. Also, once I did 'sudo reboot' through ssh, the machine failed to re-enter the BIOS menu, and even the power button failed to shutdown for real (I had to unplug the battery and AC adapter). The problem appeared first when I tried a 2.6.22-rcX (probably around rc3 since earliers rc did not work for unrelated reasons). It usually takes a couple hours/days of random work to reproduce the problem. Going back to 2.6.21 fixes the problem (did not reproduce in 2 weeks). Booting the final 2.6.22 tonight lead to the problem again within 5 hours. Steps to reproduce: Unknown, wait hours/days. It makes git bisect pretty hard to use...
