This is definitely 2.5 material here since I have exactly 0 lines of code for kernel support at this point, but...wanted to put it on some radar screens. Scott Balmos, David Stipp and myself and begun to do some development work on the l2tpd software that Mark Spencer originally wrote. We've

Hi! Hi! I had a temporary disk failure (played with acpi too much). What happened was that disk was not able to do anything for five minutes or so. When disk recovered, linux happily overwrote all inodes it could not read while disk was down with zeros - massive disk corruption.

Hi! We already have lid support in the latest ACPI versions (not in the official kernel yet.) You can download this code from http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm . This site is as ugly as hell but does the trick. (And btw link to kernel howto points to list of

It'd be great if you could focus your testing and patches on this code base -- I think it's a lot better but it's still a work in progress. Are you planning to merge to 2.4.4? Planning on merging ASAP. That may be 2.4.4, we'll see. PS I'm not quite sure why you copied the acpi list
