I should state for the record (again) that a Linux distro is really out on thin ice when they advocate that users other than hackers modify and run the platform firmware - as such a configuration is simply not supportable. To make matters worse, if the modified DSDT works, then the user doesn't complain about Linux and Linux doesn't get fixed to work on an unmodified DSDT... I wish the repository of DSDTs on sourceforge.net would simply GO AWAY for this reason. It is a crutch that makes Linux WORSE, NOT BETTER. That said.... If you can boot a recent kernel.org kernel, say 2.6.15 and still have a problem, then please speak up on this list and/or in bugzilla.kernel.org. Run only the DSDT that comes with the BIOS for the machine, and change it only by updating to a newer BIOS from the vendor for that machine. thanks, -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
