Thanks very much for continuing to test the > patches. after adding acpi-dock-driver-acpi_get_device_fix.patch the Oops is truly gone, although the current behaviour seems dangerous to me. AFAIR the undock button causes the disk to spin down and the backlight to be turned off e.g. when the boot manager is displayed and power management controlled entirely by the bios. What I got now was an endless loop that caused everything including sysrq keys to be all but interactive, but what bothers me more is the rythmic noise from the hard disk. It sounds as if it was attempting a spin-down, barely audible, and only for a fraction of a second. This happens about 1.5 times per second, and if this is what I guess it is, it won't prolong the disk's life : / Devices behind the PCI bridge are not yet discovered as well. Guess I'd have to build a debug kernel some time soon. Dmesg dumps will have to wait until "tomorrow", it's 4:45am and I feel like a dead piece of meat. Thanks for your work! Chris
