Here's a guess about why this happens. The DSDT has a sort of buffer to store up to 100 events, but it's really more like a group of 100 uninitialized objects than a buffer. Every time you read an event, it pulls the first object from the buffer then iterates over the rest of the objects, copying each item to the previous position. The exception happens when the DSDT tries to access an uninitialized object from the buffer, one that hasn't been previously written, to copy it to the previous position. If you're able to fill up the buffer, every object will get initialized to some value, and I suspect the problem goes away. So I'm guessing that what you're doing is generating events faster than they're being read (or something along those lines), eventually filling the buffer, at which point the exception stops happening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827558 Title: toshiba_acpi unable to load on TOSHIBA SATELLITE C670-10V To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/827558/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
