Hi Len,
now that was some time between the mails :-)
Unfortunately the 8-core box is sort of running in production
and I can not randomly boot kernels.
Passing acpi_os=whatever did not really changed anything
back in the days when I tried that. Actually the box is running
quite fine (normal server load, no suspend or so) though currently
an older 2.6.18+openvz kernel as that was the only openvz patch-
set that was stable, all the other openvz patchsets locked up sooner
than later ...
If you are still interested in the acpidump I can hunting for it.
Yours,

Hi all,
I just post because my dmesg says so:

ACPI: Please test with "acpi_osi=!Linux"
Please send dmidecode to linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you need more let me know. I mostly looked thru the dmesg
because the box shuts down sometimes, randomly. Maybe too hot?
But I still investigate.
However, the box (2 Quad-Core CPUs) even awakes from echo mem >
/sys/power/state (without graphic though, maybe s2ram posting would
fix
that - but I do not really care about the graphic as it is indended
to be used
as server anyway).
Thanks for the dmidecode output.
Do you notice any functional difference when booting with
"acpi_osi=Linux" (default for 2.6.22 and earlier)
vs.
"acpi_osi=!Linux" (default for 2.6.23 and later)
Also, please send me the output from acpidump.
thanks,
-Len
ps
If you don't have acpidump, you can get it from pmtools here:
