------- Comment #6 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-11-26 22:41 ------- The bug at hand is that Linux fails to boot into ACPI mode if it finds an RSDP with an invalid checksum. I belive that bug is fixed by the patch in comment #1, which is in acpi-test, queued for 2.6.25. If there are systems which have multiple valid RSDP's... In the past Linux used the first on it found, and after patch #1 is applied, we will continue to use the first one found -- no change in behaviour there. Using the common ACPICA code is the proper way to address this issue. If the common ACPICA code is not correct, then it must be fixed. Patching the old Linux routines for this is not the right way to go. RE: system with multiple _valid_ RSDP's... Has such a system been found, or are you proposing that we go fish for some? If we do go fishing, the patch must apply on top of the patch in comment #1, also it shouldn't add dmesg noise if it happens to find redundant RSDPs that have the same (poingter) contents. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
