Indeed. If it had and Intel processor or chipset I might be better equiped to help debug it...;-) > > fred@dv9410us:~/Desktop/pmtools-20071116/acpidump$ cat /proc/interrupts > CPU0 CPU1 > 0: 440894 55905 XT-PIC-XT timer > 1: 1448 245 XT-PIC-XT i8042 > 2: 0 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade > 5: 39072 7554 XT-PIC-XT sata_nv > 7: 187754 1077498 XT-PIC-XT ehci_hcd:usb1 > 8: 0 1 XT-PIC-XT rtc > 9: 157857 45581 XT-PIC-XT acpi, ndiswrapper of course you're on your own when using ndiswrapper... > 10: 164961 30370 XT-PIC-XT HDA Intel, eth0 > 11: 102179 16337 XT-PIC-XT ohci1394, ohci_hcd:usb2, nvidia > 12: 158406 27747 XT-PIC-XT i8042 > 14: 12995 4254 XT-PIC-XT ide0 > NMI: 0 0 Non-maskable interrupts > LOC: 55926 440826 Local timer interrupts > RES: 131130 172445 Rescheduling interrupts > CAL: 91 181 function call interrupts > TLB: 554 654 TLB shootdowns > TRM: 0 0 Thermal event interrupts > THR: 0 0 Threshold APIC interrupts > SPU: 0 0 Spurious interrupts > ERR: 1165746 ERR interrupts are not a good sign.

The code below makes OSI(Linux) clearly a NOP on this box, since the value it writes would get over-written by any of the Windows OSI strings -- and Linux sets all the Windows OSI strings.... I'll add this box to the NOP DMI list. thanks, -Len Device (PCI0) { Name (_ADR, 0x00) Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0A03")) Name (_UID, 0x01) Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized) { Store (0x07D0, OSYS) If (CondRefOf (_OSI, Local0)) { If (\_OSI ("Linux")) { Store (0x03E8, OSYS) } If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001")) { Store (0x07D1, OSYS) } If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP1")) { Store (0x07D1, OSYS) } If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP2")) { Store (0x07D2, OSYS) } If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006")) { Store (0x07D6, OSYS) } } } - 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
