Here is the information on my system: HP dv6000z Laptop (just released in the past month) AMD Turion x64 ML-52 nVidia nForce chipset (410/430?) nVidia GeForce Go 7200 Video Chipset (256 "TurboCache) Broadcom a/b/g wireless w/Bluetooth (bcm4306) nVidia onboard NIC Conexant HD audio? (works sometimes with generic nVidia driver in ubuntu) I believe the mem resource issue may have something to do with the "TurboCache" feature of the chipset, which I believe borrows some of the system RAM. I can verify that the 000:05:00 address refers to the graphics card. Also, there is a LED for the wireless functions, which stays blue during boot-up with ACPI turned-on. When turned-off, the light stays red and audio functions do not work. I have tried several distributions (ubuntu, gentoo, suse) and have witnessed this issue on all distributions (both the system lock-ups and the mem resource message). Recompiling the kernel with the latest test build resulted in the same issue, as well. At this point, I assume since this hardware is so new that this is just a configuration that hasn't been considered yet. -- VGER BF report: U 0.500599 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- VGER BF report: U 0.5 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
