Please attach the output from acpidump > acpidump.out into a new bugzilla entry here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI You can get acpidump from the latest pmtools here: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/ Also, you can build with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y and boot with "acpi_dbg_layer=2" plus "acpi_dbg_level=0xffffffff" and capture the console log. (or you can set these values after booted in /proc/acpi just before you try to load the module) and, maybe some clues from the cpufreq subsystem will help. cpufreq.debug=3 looks like it may give us a clue. thanks, -Len - 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
