I would strongly suggest you file a bug in >bugzilla.kernel.org attaching your dsdt.... > Thank you for the advice. I filed a bugreport at bugzilla.kernel.org and this is how we got the bad dsdt table (vista and xp never expirienced this problem). the report is here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10237 As you can see all works well now. But I have to manually insert the dsdt in the kernel and recompile it for every kernel. :( I think the acpi-dev-team did a great job finding and repairing this bug but there is nothing else they could do. Inclusion of my dsdt in the mainstream kernel is a bad idea because: 1. in the future the table could be repaired but i don't believe this. 2. en extra code will be needed to chack for the machine version and the bios and apply the patch only on my machine type. :( 3. the kernel shouldn't be a place to put working dsdt tables Now I'm waiting for another solution to save the 30 min (+ config time) for recompilation. -- Enter for Your Chance to WIN* The TotalBeauty.com Summer Spa Sweepstakes! http://tagline.hushmail.com/fc/JKFkuIjyZ57oJlsSjM42VuVf5IcP2M677NnHCXBFw04CPdXtDuuMV9/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
