I had a quick look at ⌡aacpi(4), but none of the above are mentioned. Many thanks for all your help. Google for acpi_tz0: _CRT value is absurd, ignored and you will find a long thread with some hopefully useful pointers. You may need to bone up on the ACPI reference and custom ASL's for FreeBSD.

Re: acpi problem on dell latitude d830
Ouyang Xueyu free...@suiyuan.de writes: Hello! I`ve just installed freebsd 8.2 i386 stable on a Dell Latitude D830. I`m using gnome 2 with HAL and DBUS successfully. My notebook is not able to go into sleeping mode, it doesn`t work when I use acpiconf -s 3 or acpiconf -s 4. Mode S3 gets it into sleep mode, but it freezes after wake-up with a distorted screen. In mode S4 (suspend-to-disk) it isn`t even able to get into sleeping mode. I want to initiate S4 state by closing the lid. I have a Latitude D630, which is basically the smaller brother of the D830. When it ran FreeBSD I had success in getting the D630 to sleep (s3) and resume. This was a while ago on 8-STABLE with amd64. At least back then, you would need an amd64 install to get this working (something with acpi being better in amd64 then it was in i386). I am not sure that is still the case, but I would not be surprised if it is. However, before you run off and reinstall: (again back then) both the bge and wpi driver (i.e. LAN and WLAN) did not work properly after resuming. This basically made sleeping the laptop useless. I'm not sure this is such good news, but I hope it is informative. If you manage to get it working let me know.

I'm not sure this will do what you want anyway; devd will handle the
notify but won't replace the normal action itself, ie it might power
down (hopefully running shutdown actions, synching disks etc), however
'matcho' won't match 'match' :) and that line needs a trailing ';'.
Whether or not it powers down (perhaps depending on BIOS setting, ie
instant-off or 4-second-delay), it may be more useful logging it, say:
action logger -p kern.emerg 'power button pressed!';

I think, you must first disable this setting because S5 is the default
behavior when pressing the power button, it calls /etc/rc.shutdown.
hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5
Disable it with sysctl hw.acpi.power_button_state=NONE and add this
line to /etc/sysctl.conf. And then maybe the power button will be
released for an other purpose?
Kind regards.

Re: ACPI? problem with release 8.0 | Perhaps solved?
My RELEASE-8.0 has now been up for about 2hr, not long enough to be sure the difficulty is circumvented, but long enough to look promising. Previously RELEASE-8.0 has not stayed up more than about 4min. I tried setting machdep.idle to acpi and then to hlt without success. But I now have set machdep.idle=spin. Discovered there can be some problem in trying to set this too early -- in particular in loader.conf -- presumably because acpi.ko is not yet loaded. I ended up making sure everything was ready by putting: #!/bin/sh echo setting machdep.idle=spin /sbin/sysctl machdep.idle=spin in /etc/rc.local To check what is happening I've created /usr/local/bin/sysctldump.sh as: #!/bin/sh [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.4 ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.4 /tmp/sysctl.dump.5 [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.3 ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.3 /tmp/sysctl.dump.4 [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.2 ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.2 /tmp/sysctl.dump.3 [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.1 ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.1 /tmp/sysctl.dump.2 [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump /tmp/sysctl.dump.1 sysctl -ao /tmp/sysctl.dump and adding: #sysctl dump 1-59/2 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/sysctldump.sh to /etc/crontab. I feel somewhat concerned that this cronjob may be sufficiently frequent to prevent the system looking for the idle state and thus circumventing the problem in same other way. So I'm not yet convinced that I have a real solution. I'll try removing the cronjob.

Yes, I have now realised this; but now somewhat reticent to move there now and be criticised for cross-posting Is it likely that the issue is real rather than hardware or disk corruption? Earlier releases are operating OK on the same machine. Sounds like a real issue, but I don't know the hardware. Does it have the latest available BIOS update? If not, that's step one. Will it stay up long enough to get a verbose dmesg off it? Do you have a verbose dmesg from an earlier working release for comparison? Probably not; I have considered it. But the manufacturer's site warns not to upgrade unless you have identifyable problems (or something similar). And since earlier release work well I'm not anxious to open a new can of worms. If I become sufficiently desparate I'll try it. I have now confirmed that: debug.acpi.disabled=acad button cpu lid thermal timer video still leaves the system crashing and powering down when idle for a while. And the more extensive: debug.acpi.disabled=acad bus children button cmbat cpu ec isa lid pci pci_link sysresource thermal timer video does the same.

I only have a vague idea of how these work, but having to change this definitely indicates a bug somewhere; whether your BIOS settings or ACPI implementation or kernel or what else, I've no idea. Discovered there can be some problem in trying to set this too early -- in particular in loader.conf -- presumably because acpi.ko is not yet loaded. I ended up making sure everything was ready by putting: Don't presume too easily .. acpi.ko gets loaded really early, it's needed fired up even before scanning busses and initialising most devices. A verbose dmesg.boot should give some indication to anyone familiar with what should be. An acpidump may be useful too. Can you put files up anywhere to fetch? If not, you can mail me them, they're each too big to attach to -questions. The usual deal on acpi@ is to put up URL(s) to such files; I'd be happy to host them here. But you really should take this afresh to acpi@ .. they don't bite, the worst that can happen is they'll ignore you :) and with a new message with the concise story to date, I'd expect someone to take an interest; maybe just to say 'turn this off|on' or or 'that was fixed in -stable last month' or 'try this patch' or 'show us your [whatever]' .. #!/bin/sh echo setting machdep.idle=spin /sbin/sysctl machdep.idle=spin in /etc/rc.local Ok. dmesg.boot then will show what happens before that gets switched. If you enable console.log in syslog.conf that change will show up there after boot messages, maybe other useful stuff, but at least show dmesg. To check what is happening I've created /usr/local/bin/sysctldump.sh as: #!/bin/sh [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.4 ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.4 /tmp/sysctl.dump.5 [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.3 ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.3 /tmp/sysctl.dump.4 [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.2 ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.2 /tmp/sysctl.dump.3 [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.1 ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump.1 /tmp/sysctl.dump.2 [ -f /tmp/sysctl.dump ] mv -f /tmp/sysctl.dump /tmp/sysctl.dump.1 sysctl -ao /tmp/sysctl.dump and adding: #sysctl dump 1-59/2 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/sysctldump.sh to /etc/crontab. sysctl -ao is likely Way Too Much Information, though I suppose diffs between them might show something useful changing over time. 'sysctl hw dev acpi' is probably plenty to chew on. I feel somewhat concerned that this cronjob may be sufficiently frequent to prevent the system looking for the idle state and thus circumventing the problem in same other way. So I'm not yet convinced that I have a real solution. We're not talking about idle in the sense top shows you - this is about the kernel having nothing to do for perhaps hundreds of microseconds so entering a microsleep state. The old 386s just had the HLT instruction which had the CPU wait for an interrupt (to save power). These days there are multiple C-states with varying levels of power reduction with different latencies, ie times to wake up, usually managed by ACPI. I suspect 'spin' just loops awaiting an interrupt, staying busy? C1E is one such newer state. I know nothing about it, but that's what your system thought it should use the amdc1e cpufreq? driver for, so your problem definitely seems related to that. This clearly is within the ambit of the acpi@ list, and most of those folks seem rarely to have the sort of spare time needed to follow -questions. Also at least check the change log between your BIOS and the latest; if there's anything related to C states or similar, you should try it; they always say not to do it unless you need to - you might need to, and that might be all you need to do. I'll try removing the cronjob.

I think CPU use/temp during boot-up _could_ vary a lot from one operating system to another, I don't know that it must, though, since the whole business is arcane and full of magic (much like poutine). FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #1: Mon Nov 23 13:47:06 EST 2009 amd64 It's a turion x2 of 1990MHz I only had windows on long enough to burn one CD back in February, so I have not the least clue how it behaved (besides terribly). I can't find any way to get the actual temperature values under Opensolaris, but I do dual boot. It spends so much time starting so many mind-bogglingly worthless services prior to giving me a log-in prompt that I'm not sure the comparison is fair. The fan usually kick into high prior to the log-in prompt, though. Opensolaris is pretty horrible in terms of performance and battery life compared to FreeBSD. It's also like a strange, alien wasteland what with bash gnome other linuxisms, except pfexec. pfexec rocks. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: ACPI temperature
2009/11/29 Steven Friedrich free...@insightbb.com: I booted my HP Pavilion zd8215us and I immediately invoked chkCPUTemperature. The first temp reported was 52C, which is 125.6F. This leads me to believe that acpi has an anomaly regarding temperature measurement. The ambient temp was 71F (21.6C). The machine had been off for over eight hours. I'm not sure. My laptop shows about 59C as soon as I can log in, in a room kept around 16C ambient.

Re: ACPI issue on my Toshiba laptop
On Sunday 01 March 2009 19:25:44 Michael A. Alestock wrote: Hi all, As you're already aware, there've been known issues with ACPI running on some laptops. For instance, mine is a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2051. When I first installed FreeBSD v6.3 I would get the following error... *** ACPI-0370: Error - No installed handler for fixed event *** From here, I wouldn't be able to use my built-in LAN or Atheros 5212 wireless because of constant WATCHDOG: DEVICE TIMEOUT error messages. However, I later found out that by disabling the ACPI by placing two lines in your /boot/device.hints or /boot/loader.conf files, hint.apic.0.disabled=1 hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 you would be able to use both the wireless and LAN without the ACPI running. This has been the case for me for a while, and everything was going great until lastnight That's the drawback of work-arounds: bugs don't get fixed.

Re: ACPI Problem: acpi_tz0:_TMP value is absurd
I located a file for upgrading the BIOS for my Compaq machine but it requires Windows to install it. I deleted the Windows that came with the machine several months ago, so, for now, that option is out. I created a file with the following commands: sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.user_override=1 sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate=1800 sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.user_override=0 and run it right after logging in as root using: source where is the file name. The message: acpi_tz0: _TMP value is absurd, ignored (-269.8C) still appears, but not as often. I could, of course, adjust it later if temperature might become a problem but, for now, the machine isn't on long enough for that to be a concern. It still doesn't fix the problem of an incorrect temperature, but at least I can read my monitor without it being cluttered with those messages. BMJ Never miss a thing.

Do you have SMP enabled?
No. Both boxes have pretty minimal, basic installations.
You also might be able to tune the kernel clock rate to obtain better
performance; I forget what the values were for sysctl, but if you search
around the current@ archives a bit, there was a discussion involving VMware
and clock tuning approximately 2-3 months ago which details this issue, and
possible solutions.
Perhaps tuning could help. I'll check the archives.
However, it just seems to me that the 1.8 GHz box ought to perform the
simple prog (orig post) at least as fast as the 6 MHz box.
Depends on:
1. What you're trying to do.
2. What your programs are optimized for.
3. Additional factors (I/O, load, etc).
4. Hardware attached to each machine. Some examples...
a. Comparing a SCSI disk vs a PATA disk.
b. Clockspeed applied to the RAM on one machine isn't equal to the other.
c. Motherboard manufacturers -- some manufacturers have done a shoddy job
with memory handling, BIOS manufacturing, and other critical stats in the
past.
Try disabling ACPI on the P4 though and see what happens. I will say though,
the Willamette (1st gen P4) chips weren't Intel's finest desktop chip; some
people went far enough to complain that the Willamette series was nothing
more than overclocked Coppermines, i.e. P3's. I haven't taken a look at the
architectures and compared them, so those may be empty claims.
I was wondering about the truth-of-clockspeed. Perhaps the 1800-MHz only
applies to CPU internal cache, etc. while the external bus-clocking is down at
500-MHz or so. Sounds like a typical marketing ploy!
About disabling the ACPI... Can I do it *safely* via the remote-ssh
connection? Or do I need to be at the box w/ keyboard and monitor? What I've
read makes it seem that the ACPI is set at boot-time.

Do you have SMP enabled?
No. Both boxes have pretty minimal, basic installations.
You also might be able to tune the kernel clock rate to obtain better
performance; I forget what the values were for sysctl, but if you search
around the current@ archives a bit, there was a discussion involving VMware
and clock tuning approximately 2-3 months ago which details this issue, and
possible solutions.
Perhaps tuning could help. I'll check the archives.
However, it just seems to me that the 1.8 GHz box ought to perform the simple
prog (orig post) at least as fast as the 6 MHz box.

Depends on:
1. What you're trying to do.
2. What your programs are optimized for.
3. Additional factors (I/O, load, etc).
4. Hardware attached to each machine. Some examples...
a. Comparing a SCSI disk vs a PATA disk.
b. Clockspeed applied to the RAM on one machine isn't equal to the other.
c. Motherboard manufacturers -- some manufacturers have done a shoddy job
with memory handling, BIOS manufacturing, and other critical stats in the past.
Try disabling ACPI on the P4 though and see what happens. I will say though,
the Willamette (1st gen P4) chips weren't Intel's finest desktop chip; some
people went far enough to complain that the Willamette series was nothing more
than overclocked Coppermines, i.e. P3's. I haven't taken a look at the
architectures and compared them, so those may be empty claims.
You'll get performance with a Northwood or Prescott series P4 processor though,
in particular the later revisions of both chips, once they introduced
Hyperthreading.
And remember, operating frequency of a CPU doesn't mean everything; it's just a
ballpark figure for performance ;).
Finally, quite a few advancements have been made going from 5.4 to 6.2. I'd say
give 6.2 (and soon 7-BETA/-RELEASE) a try before ruling out a major problem
with your PC(s), or FreeBSD (overall).

Do you have SMP enabled? If so, please realize that you won't benefit from it
at all because the chip you have (Willamette) doesn't support SMP
(Hyperthreading or multi-core processing). In fact this may hinder your
processing a bit, because I believe that adding SMP adds more complicated
algorithms and additional job constraints to the kernel scheduler; I could be
incorrect though.
You also might be able to tune the kernel clock rate to obtain better
performance; I forget what the values were for sysctl, but if you search around
the current@ archives a bit, there was a discussion involving VMware and clock

not bothered.
It may be that you do need something set for hw.acpi.lid_switch_state, I do not.

ACPI is the most current flashier version of APM with some PNP thrown in; in laymens terms... It configures devices, provides power management, and allows the computer to setup hardware so specific versions of windows can or cannot use certain resources on the machine. Sometimes this does cause issues with the non-windows users because devices are left unconfigured or features disabled. Sometimes this leaves the hardcore users rewriting their ACPI to include support for FreeBSD natively or fix the errors that came with the ACPI from the OEM. shutdown puts in a system call to ACPI to shutoff the computer.

Hi list I don't ask too many questions, but after scratching my head a bit, trawling through Google, some of the mailing list archives, /usr/src/UPDATING, and most of the contents of /sys/i386/conf, I'm still not sure what's up; however, I've ascertained that PEBKAC instead of the kernel code, which ought to be good news to those concerned with R.E. (had one aha! moment prior to hitting SEND on that e-mail) I just updated from 5.4 - 6.0BETA5 about a week and a half ago. On 5.4, ACPI and shutdown -p Just Worked. On 6.0, it didn't: link_elf: symbol ioapic_enable_mixed_mode undefined KLD file acpi.ko - could not finalize loading However, a hour ago or so, I figured what the heck, let's just put `device acpi` back into the kernel. Make, Make installkernel, and all's peachy. :-) So, what did I miss? I'd like to think that it was just that the documentation wasn't up to date with the code, but more likely it's just that my brain isn't working properly.

Re: ACPI not working for shutdown -p
Nope, still no go. It gives me a timeout whenever it tries to shutdown, I don't know if that has anything to do with the timeout tables, I'd assume so, but I haven't the slightest idea on how to fix that.

I hadn't reloaded that system in so long I forgot they were 366MHz CPUs (they were overclocked to somewhere ~450MHz), and ran into all kinds of problems until I checked and then reset it back to the default...which was interesting, as the system had been successfully running Oracle on RH7.3 for some time previously in the same configuration... Definitely never saw any similar messages as yours, but there's also a BP-6 motherboard issue some have come across- try googling for BP-6 problem if all else fails, something about a (filtering?) cap being the wrong size...

You don't *have* to remove it from your kernel, but you might as well, because it won't work with acpica in there. Note too that I've found acpica can cause some other devices not to work as well: % grep 'could not\|cannot' /var/run/dmesg.boot viapropm0: could not allocate bus space fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range The devel/acpicatools port gets you: % pkg_info -L acpicatools\* Information for acpicatools-20030523.0: Files: /usr/local/bin/acpicadb /usr/local/bin/iasl /usr/local/bin/acpidump /usr/local/man/man8/acpidump.8.gz And that's the only acpi related port available. I guess you need 5.x for acpiconf(8). There's a bunch of acpi sysctls you could play with, but I've no idea what could be done using them.

If I press the power button, the system shutsdown correctly, the monitor shuts off after 30 minutes, etc. I have a laptop that I'm not using 5.1, but 4.9 instead (for reasons, see previous posts re: mouse). According to the FreeBSD handbook, I can implement ACPI in 4.9 (rather than APM) by simply adding device acpi to the kernel configuration. I tried this and get: device acpi unknown Close, but no cigar.

Re: ACPI S3 compatible video card?
Andrew Gallatin wrote: Does anybody have suggestions as to a cheap, AGP based video card which is known to suspend/resume correctly and has DVI output? I'm currently using an ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF rev 0, and the screen fails to come back when I resume the machine (an Intel D845EBG2 based desktop). Since I need to get a new card, I want to ensure I get one which is known to work with ACPI. Thanks, Drew I think the ATI Radeon DDR (7500) will do this, and they are quite cheap now ... if you can find them. BTW ... this is a candidate for freebsd-questions rather than freebsd-current.

Cheers, Matthew I've just installed acpicatools-20030523.0 package using portinstall and there are only 2 commands: acpidump acpicadb (this doesn't have man page !!) So... I still don't have acpiconf Should I wait until KDE-3.2 ? I've just wanted to test this on my new laptop, but it's not very importantjust I was curious because I don't know what's exactly this stuff of acpi... :) Thanks! -- JFRH ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
