bug 9147 test results on kernels 2.6.29 (w/o fedora11 patches), 2.6.29-5 (w/o
fedora11 patches), 2.6.30

>From my tests (see attachment) it can clearly be deduced that the bug is not
triggered when using built-in ACPI modules; I have not yet triggered it with
builtin ac,battery,thermal,container,processor built-in modules and I will keep
using this kernel. I will add a comment if I trigger the bug.

I invite other testers to use a kernel with such built-in ACPI modules to see
if the bug appears; I assume it is very hard to trigger when modules are
built-in, when instead can be easily triggered with my test script when modules
are separated from kernel.

Can somebody please explain why there is such difference? It has apparently
become more deep from previous kernels, since bug was easily triggered also
with built-in ACPI modules with previous kernels.

So right now the best workaround is to compile the above mentioned modules as
builtin.

To make the point: Fedora10/Fedora11 do not have any patch which addresses bug
9147 as side effect, it's just that they compile the guilty modules as built-in
making the bug gone or very hard to trigger.

Also, I haven't yet been able to enable (via kernel .config) the correct
options to show again the dmesg messages when a key gets stuck.
