Yes, I'd believe that. This is why I asked if a native hw monitoring driver/application works on these boards in Windows. Per the comments on the list, Windows is seeing the reservations the same way Linux is. (Though who knows if those reservations are honored by a platform specific driver -- probably not since a platform driver knows all) > I don't expect the problem at hand to be widespread. good, then maybe a DMI based BIOS workaround is viable. However, I agree with Bjorn that "pnpacpi=off" would be hitting this problem with too big a stick -- even if limited to a finite list of boards. If Bjorn's driver patch even w/o DMI doesn't break anything, maybe that is the most pragmatic way to go? -- 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
